    Google May Never Announce Another Core Update - Season 6 Ep 39 (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

What they didn't tell us was the Core update they ran between them from August 24th - September 8th. Through that lense it makes sense. Every SPAM update is NOT the same. Before a Core update it looks at specific items to remove them. After a Core Update Google looks for those who would make their sitemaps show a more recent change than the URL's own RSS feed

There is a split in the pipeline between googlebot and googleother and I break it all down based on the server log studies I run every week. P.S.

    This week I heard some fabulous AI news. I promise you'll understand the good news.
