Google Algorithm Update for Spam October 2022 Rolling Out

Spam updates also go after phishing scams and other bad actors on the web who try to rank in search results by pretending to be highly relevant pages.

Even though websites with thin content that doesn’t add much value might be considered spammy, Google doesn’t consider them to be spam. Google’s helpful content algorithm is more likely to find thin content.

If you don’t know what Google considers spam, you should look at the new Google Search Essentials.

Even sites that use Google’s Search Essentials can be hacked and used to send spam. If a site’s security isn’t good enough, it could be sending spam to users without realizing it.

If your site’s ranking suddenly drops after one Google Algorithm Update 2022, you should check your site’s security and look for signs of an attack.

When a spam update hits a site, its content is either moved down in the search results or taken out completely of Google’s index – for some webmasters this could be a true nightmare.

First reactions on Twitter suggest that considerably by far more webmasters are affected by this update than by the previous Google Helpful Content Update.

Google says it could take months for a website to recover from the effects of a spam update if it doesn’t make the changes it needs to make to follow Google’s spam policies.
