Google has officially rolled out a brand new ew search ranking algorithm update targeting the spam-impacted aspects of their search results entitled the “October 2022 spam update”, which is expected to take about a week to formally roll out.
Google issued the following information regarding spam updates: “While Google’s automated systems to detect search spam are constantly operating, we occasionally make notable improvements to how they work. When we do, we refer to this as a spam update and share when they happen on our list of Google Search ranking updates. For example, SpamBrain is our AI-based spam-prevention system. From time-to-time, we improve that system to make it better at spotting spam and to help ensure it catches new types of spam. Sites that see a change after a spam update should review our spam policies to ensure they are complying with those. Sites that violate our policies may rank lower in results or not appear in results at all. Making changes may help a site improve if our automated systems learn over a period of months that the site complies with our spam policies.”
Google announced this update on their Twitter account.
