										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to the field of <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/digital-marketing-modern-marketing-campaign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">digital marketing</a>, there are a lot of people who see SEO as something either controversial or ambiguous. You see, in theory, Google updates its algorithm in order to create an environment in which the most quality content comes on top and what do <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/seo-expert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SEO experts</a> do? They study the algorithm in order to secure a better position for their client. This alone is a clear manipulation of the algorithm that creates a scenario that’s quite difficult to interpret from a moral or ethical standpoint.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, how is this different from any other profession? After all, isn’t the best lawyer the one who knows how to exploit the existing rules, loopholes and precedents to the benefit of their client. The thing is that the SEO is merely a model (a tool) and, as such, it’s as legitimate or as fraudulent as their use. With that in mind and without further ado, here are several examples that will help you figure out whether your SEO practices fall under the category of legitimate or fraudulent.</p>
<h2>1. White- vs. black-hat SEO</h2>
<p>The first thing that we need to discuss here is the fact that SEO comes in two different forms, white-hat and black-hat SEO. A white hat SEO is a simple use of optimization strategies that are aimed at a human audience. On the other hand, black-hat SEO is completely aimed at <a href="https://moz.com/google-algorithm-change" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the algorithm</a> and Google bots, trying to trick the system rather than play by its rules. Now, while black-hat SEO does give some immediate results, these results are never long-lasting, seeing as how Google sees these exploits as bugs and is bound to fix them as soon as the next update comes. White-hat SEO, on the other hand, gives long-lasting results.</p>
<h2>2. Setting the expectations</h2>
<p>Before we even start talking about the legitimacy of your SEO campaign, it’s vital that we mention that it’s greatly determined by your expectations. First of all, you need to know the limits and the potential of <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/organic-traffic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">organic SEO</a>. For instance, SEO doesn’t provide you with a quick fix and it’s not a one-time effort that will indefinitely cement you as a dominant force in your field. Also, even though SEO experts are quite effective in what they do, this is not an exact science and their initial projections are never 100 percent accurate. Things could go better or worse than planned but this is all completely normal and even expected.</p>
<p>Needless to say, these expectations are something that you can use in order to spot the difference between real and so-called experts. For instance, if someone promises you a fast turnaround or claim that they possess the “insider knowledge” of how the <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/major-google-algorithm-updates-years/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google algorithm works</a>, it should be more than clear that these are the “experts” that you should steer clear of. Other than this, if they “promise” you the results which you assume are impossible, chances are that they’re just making wild promises in order to lure you over. Finally, if they seem to be ambiguous about their pricing, this too is a red flag that you shouldn’t ignore.</p>
<h2>3. How to recognize the right SEO company?</h2>
<p>Using the expectations and knowledge that we’ve covered in the previous two segments, it would be fairly easy to recognize the SEO company that’s right for you. Still, putting things on paper can only get you so far. The most reliable way to get what you want is to do some research on the portfolio of the agency that you plan to collaborate with. Ideally, you would collaborate with a local company, so that you have an easier job of contacting their previous clients. For instance, as a Brisbane-based enterprise, what you would look for is a trustworthy SEO Brisbane agency. Sure, going local is not mandatory but it does make things a lot easier.</p>
<h2>4. Learn about SEO</h2>
<p>While it may seem like spending your own time in order to get familiar with the field of SEO may defeat the purpose of outsourcing it, to begin with, the truth is that it’s the only way to tell white- and black-hat companies apart. It’s not just that but also the fact that there are a lot of scam artists out there posing as SEO experts. If they have the fortune to land upon an entrepreneur who doesn’t know the first thing about SEO, they can easily impress them with random numbers and outdated techniques. Needless to say, you don’t have to become an expert yourself, it’s more than enough to learn the basics and keep track of any potential changes.</p>
<h2>5. Both of them can teach you something</h2>
<p>Now, previously, we’ve been quite dismissive towards black-hat marketing, yet, the truth is that you have so much to learn by getting familiar with this fraudulent phenomenon. For instance, black-hat strategies revolve around methods like invisible text and stuffed keywords (which elude the user but are registered by the search engine), <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/how-to-check-duplicate-content/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">duplicate content</a> and redirecting users to other sites or pages. This last part is there to artificially inflate the traffic to your website.</p>
<p>The reason why this is so useful even for a white-hat specialist is due to the fact that both of you want the same thing – and increase in rank and a boost in traffic. When it comes to methods like backlinks, by studying your black-hat counterparts, you can easily learn a trick or two without deceiving your audience. Also, there’s no easier way to learn a thing or two about keyword research and stuffing than by examining how black-hat specialists do it and figuring out where they push things too far.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>There is a new kid on the block known as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, also short for &#8220;Bert.&#8221; Ever since its introduction, it&#8217;s being regarded as one of the most important updates in the last five years. It began it&#8217;s rolling out on October 21, 2019, for English-language queries.&nbsp; But, have you ever wondered why so much importance is being given to it? What does it do? Why does it matter? And should you really be spending your time learning about it? Well, let me just start off by telling you that Bert will affect 1 in 10 of your search queries from now on.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Do you even have any idea how wonderful it is going to bring a significant impact on <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/search-engine-optimization-techniques/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="search engine optimization (opens in a new tab)">search engine optimization</a> and its entire landscape? Well, we will get to know that in just a short while, but let us first dive into BERT&#8217;s general description, what it is and what does it do?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is BERT Exactly?</h2>



<p>BERT is basically an algorithm update to properly analyze how words or different prepositions are used in a search query and how they relate to one another. In short, before <strong>BERT Google</strong> used to do search queries much easier by merely omitting certain words from it, such as &#8220;for&#8221; and &#8220;But.&#8221; However, it soon realized that there was a significant difference between a search query &#8220;flights from London to New York&#8221; and &#8220;flights from New York to London.&#8221;</p>



<p>Google used to easily provide the same search results by simply ignoring the &#8220;from&#8221; and &#8220;to&#8221; from the query. And the results it showed were of no value, mainly due to the massive difference between the search queries, as explained in the example mentioned above. Thus, with the help of this new algorithm update, the search engine aims to give out more accurate results by carefully taking every phrase, word, and syllable into consideration.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is It Important?</h2>



<p>Even though Google keeps on making changes in its <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="search engine algorithms (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.trickyenough.com/google-algorithm-updates-affecting-page-rankings/" target="_blank">search engine algorithms</a> every now and then, the introduction of BERT is seen quite impactful. It is developed as an effort by Google to enhance the user&#8217;s experience. Now, you see, search engines fail to understand a complicated query fully completely; for this reason, a better understanding of language and its nuances is important. BERT makes this job easier, so when you wonder next time, why it matters? This is one of the main reasons. With the help of BERT, Google aims to increase your search rankings by providing more accurate results and enhanced user experience.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prepare your Website for Google Bert</h2>



<p>If, as a website owner, you are looking for ways to increase your search engine rankings, then it&#8217;s always better to start with a strategy. But this doesn&#8217;t mean you would have to revamp your search rankings completely, you need to follow four techniques given below to achieve this aim.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Incorporate Simple Keywords</h3>



<p>One of the most important factors these days for deploying an effective keyword strategy is the use of mixing <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/why-use-long-tail-keywords/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="long-tail keywords (opens in a new tab)">long-tail keywords</a> of three or more words. Bert tends to prioritize conversational words tightly coupled together, and in this way, it impacts the current trend of your content.</p>



<p>Moreover, BERT follows content that is of high quality and is created naturally. Which means it should be informational. Don&#8217;t focus on keyword generation too much; you would want to provide genuine information through your content as well. Bert only prefers content that speaks value. Merely, focusing on your choice of keywords won’t be a smart thing to do in this regard. Hence, put in tireless efforts for creating fresh, crisp, and genuine content and let the keywords you have chosen flow naturally.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Long-tail Keywords are the Real Deal</h3>



<p>As mentioned earlier, long-tail keywords should be your top-most priority while dealing with BERT. Even though BERT content quality is also a priority, a long-tail keyword is also of some relevance, so don&#8217;t ignore them. While content quality is the number-one priority, BERT will give long-tail keywords equal relevance. When Google receives a search query, it knows that users are typically typing it in by not keeping relevant keywords in mind. They are simply in search of directions, advice, and recipes.</p>



<p>Google understands this by focusing on longer queries and by catering to its users. So, for this reason, it would be a smarter thing to incorporate long-tail keywords. For instance, create content that has the title &#8220;8 steps to create a vanilla cupcake&#8221; instead of &#8220;steps to create cupcake.&#8221; Searches like these need to be answered. Keeping your audience in mind can also be beneficial. Think from their perspective and what words they utilize to type their query.</p>



<p><strong>Suggested:</strong></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Invest in Creating Informational Search Content</h3>



<p>Informational searches refer to queries based on broad topics. It includes questions that get searched most on, and many people want answers to them. Moreover, as BERT also understands languages, it makes providing answers to questions based on general information much easier. Hence, it would be better to start off from <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/ai-and-content-creation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="creating content (opens in a new tab)">creating content</a> that is based on information search.</p>



<p>Start creating how-to articles that provide a step-by-step guide or go for writing blogs that provide tips and benefits on specific topics. There are tremendous opportunities for you to create content based on informational search; what matters most is that all the information that goes into the content must be of genuine nature.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Make Use of Stop Words</h3>



<p>Now, if you don&#8217;t know what stop words are, they are the prepositions used in the content which were previously omitted by the search engine. However, now with BERT, Google promises to provide its users with more accurate results. Which means, it would be advantageous for you to put stop words back in your content.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Take Away</h2>



<p>This blog illustrates the importance of BERT with some essential techniques which will help your website get back on track and optimize with BERT accordingly. Google is making efforts towards expanding its AI’s capacity to examine the different nuances of language. This means it&#8217;s more important for websites to come up with content that speaks quality, value, and authenticity. Hence, read on this blog to understand all different concepts for BERT and level up your website ranking game.</p>

<p>While most businesses understand that a part of their content marketing strategies needs to include keeping a watch on Google’s search technology and how they can maintain a good page ranking, the task can be quite stressful as all the efforts can become unstuck because Google has released a new <a aria-label="search algorithm update (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.trickyenough.com/use-google-algorithms-promote-website/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">search algorithm update</a>. The fear is all too real because Google does release hundreds of updates, most of them minor but a few of them are so radical that they can significantly impact the SERP rankings and lead to a substantial loss in <a aria-label="organic traffic (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.trickyenough.com/organic-traffic/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">organic traffic</a> generation. A recent survey has revealed that the number one fear among B2B marketers is the concern about search algorithm changes. The concern is not unfounded because websites do drop off the radar and lose traffic due to unexpected <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/news/to-help-users-find-lower-fares-google-updates-its-flight-search-results/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google updates</a> coming into play. Because Google, typically, is not in the habit of announcing its updates, even the most experienced SEO experts can be caught unprepared, however, attempting to understand the priorities and value system of Google can help in putting together a robust <a aria-label="SEO strategy (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.trickyenough.com/seo-strategy-steps-tips-successfully/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SEO strategy</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-google-changes-its-search-algorithm-continually-nbsp">Google Changes Its Search Algorithm Continually </h2>



<p>While there is a lot of noise when Google announces a major update that can affect search results significantly, the world’s leading search engine keeps on tweaking its <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="algorithms thousands of times in a year (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.trickyenough.com/major-google-algorithm-updates-years/" target="_blank">algorithms thousands of times in a year</a>. According to estimates, Google made over 3,200 changes to its algorithm in the space of just one year. Most of the updates are subtle and the impact may not be even noticeable, but sometimes, the updates can shake up SEO. The different types of Google updates are:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-official-named-updates">Official Named Updates:</h3>



<p>These are updates that are formally announced by Google and sometimes even given names. The updates are discussed the most in SEO forums and journals and are typically released to tackle specific problems that the earlier version of the algorithm encountered. For example, Panda devalued low-quality content and Penguin penalized link spam by driving the sites down in the rankings. It is usual for Google to keep on improving the stated goals of the updates by making continual improvements for a long time thereafter.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-broad-core-updates">Broad Core Updates:</h3>



<p>These more common updates are announced by Google, however, without any specific information on their purpose. They get the SEO community talking and giving unofficial names that stick, for example, Pigeon, Medic, etc. The reluctance of Google to disclose details is attributed to the fact that Google thinks that it would be counterproductive and reveal too much on how its algorithm functions. Much of the information available on the impact of these updates is actually the result of SEO professionals analyzing the impact on numerous websites and identifying commonalities.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-smaller-functionality-updates">Smaller Functionality Updates:</h3>



<p>Very frequently, Google releases updates that improve specific functionalities like giving priority to sites with faster loading speeds, boosting rankings of sites that are optimized for mobiles, when and how featured snipes are displayed, etc. Sometimes Google announces these updates but many times it just releases them silently and leaves it to SEO professionals to recognize and analyze them.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tips-on-maintaining-your-ranking-superiority-in-2024-and-beyond">Tips on Maintaining Your Ranking Superiority in 2025 and Beyond</h2>



<p>SEO practitioners should evaluate the impact of each Google update and find out if their SEO strategy has to be changed to meet the new challenges. However, most of the time, the updates only serve to reinforce the value system of Google and stay true to what Google wants to do to serve its users with content that is accurate, relevant, and value-added. To this end, even if it is not possible to predict the exact type of update Google is planning to release in the future, you can count on the following tips to keep your online visibility consistently high:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Make the website mobile responsive</strong>: With half of the global Internet traffic already coming from mobiles, it is evident that Google will give priority to searches conducted on mobile devices. It is vital to switch over to a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="responsive web design (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.trickyenough.com/choosing-the-right-mobile-design-for-your-website/" target="_blank">responsive web design</a> that ensures that your website displays equally well on the much smaller mobile screens as it does on desktops.</li>



<li><strong>Ensure the website loads fast</strong>: With bandwidth increasing, Internet users, especially those who are using mobiles on-the-go are becoming increasingly impatient. According to studies, if a site does not load within three seconds, more than half of the visitors abandon it and move on to some other website for the information requirements. According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/peggyannesalz/2019/08/22/how-fast-is-fast-enough-mobile-load-times-drive-customer-experience-and-impact-sales" target="_blank" aria-label="Forbes (opens in a new tab)" rel="nofollow noopener">Forbes</a>, quoting Unbounce data, as many as 70% of consumers say that the speed of loading of the webpage is a primary factor affecting their willingness to buy.</li>



<li><strong>Identify what the target audience cares about: </strong>More than page ranking, good SEO is about getting displayed for the right queries. It is critical to perform keyword, audience, and competitor research to obtain insights into the concerns and types of queries that your audience is most likely to have.</li>



<li><strong>Create high-quality content</strong>: Discovering and delivering content that addresses the search intent of users is the prime intention of Google. It is also the reason for SEO to drive <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/content-marketing-evolution/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="content marketing (opens in a new tab)">content marketing</a>. If you take care to address the needs of your <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/build-an-audience-build-business/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="target audience (opens in a new tab)">target audience</a> with content that satisfies them, your rankings are bound to rise.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-write-to-satisfy-the-needs-of-humans-not-to-beat-algorithms">Write to Satisfy the Needs of Humans Not to Beat Algorithms</h2>



<p>Many of the updates released by Google in recent years are a reaction to attempts by smart marketers to manipulate the system by leveraging weaknesses in the algorithm in web design and content creation. However, by putting real human needs before everything, you can automatically insulate yourself better against updates in the future. However, this does not mean ignoring <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/top-seo-trends/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="SEO trends (opens in a new tab)">SEO trends</a> and approaching your content creation strategically.

</head><body><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Several times a year there is a disturbance in the Force. Or Google rankings, same thing. At any rate, it causes immense unrest for SEO professionals across the world as we see massive fluctuations in rankings. Some good, some bad, depending on the Google core update.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dealing with these updates as a form of best practice is vital for SEO professionals, as a badly-handled update can be the downfall of any <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/build-links-for-your-seo-campaign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SEO campaign</a>.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, with that in mind, here is the best way to identify and deal with any <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/news/the-ranking-systems-updates-explained-by-google-podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ranking fluctuations</a> which may occur following a Google core Update.</span></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-monitor-the-fluctuations">Monitor the Fluctuations</h2>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first step to dealing with a ranking fluctuation post-Google Update is to do nothing. No, really. Making quick, panicked, changes can be the worst thing to do following any change in rankings. But especially following an update.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And so, the best course of action in these cases is inaction.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Monitor your rankings, note what pages and keywords are dropping in particular and try to determine any correlations between the pages. Are they all related to a similar topic? Are the pages with poor links, thin content, etc.? In most cases, there will be a determining factor which has contributed to the post-update drop.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You may not be able to identify the issue outright based on your site data alone, but it is always important to monitor and try to understand the drop as far as possible. As, then, you will be able to determine whether or not there is a correlation with the findings from across the industry.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Which you can discover via some quick research… </span></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-research-the-update">Research the Update</h2>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When a Google Update drops there is a lot of chatter online about the results. Losers, winners and all those in between will share their data across forums and in chat rooms. Of course, you don’t have to trawl through all of this information to find out what you need to know. Many SEO news sites like Search Engine Journal, Search Engine Land and Search Engine Roundtable put together roundups in most cases.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In some cases, Google will be specifically targeting a niche or industry. For example, in the </span><a href="https://searchengineland.com/case-study-recovering-from-googles-medic-update-309597" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Medic Update</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of 2018, the main target of the update was YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) sites. These are sites that present information in regards to health or money and, if inaccurate or deceptive, could have an impact on an individual’s quality of life. The update was aimed at filtering low-quality results from Google with respect to YMYL, so that results would not have the potential to negatively impact users.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Improving results following this update meant proving that a site could provide information in relation to YMYL well, i.e. it would not have a negative impact. This meant improving a site&#8217;s EAT (Expertise, Authority and Trust).</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To improve following the Medic Update, a site had to prove it had expert authors who produced great content (Expertise), good link metrics (Authority) and positive reviews across sources (Trust).</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All of which, likely, you would not have discovered yourself. Rather this data and research came out of the SEO expert community, helping the whole community at large improve and recover following the update. Which is why thorough research and knowing who to follow in the <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/digital-marketing-modern-marketing-campaign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">digital marketing</a> community is important. As it could mean the difference between continued fluctuation and recovery following a Google Update.</span></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-audit-your-site">Audit Your Site</h2>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you have done effective research in regards to the update and how it may be affecting your site, it is time to audit your site. An audit allows you to discover areas that your site is perhaps lacking in. Whilst also allowing you to potentially cross-reference your site issues with the findings across the industry.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Audits should be conducted on a site regularly, no matter if it is suffering ranking fluctuations or not. This is the best way to monitor and avoid potential issues regularly.</span></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-factors-to-include-in-your-seo-audits-include">Key factors to include in your SEO audits include:</h4>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Technical Factors</strong> &#8211; Speed, XML sitemap, indexation, crawl rate, robots.tx, duplicate content, etc.</span></li>



<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Content Analysis</strong> &#8211; Content structure, <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/ideal-keyword-density/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">keyword density</a>, metadata, UX, internal links, schema, etc.</span></li>



<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Rankings</strong> &#8211; Comparing keyword movement over a set period of time, identifying areas of loss and gain.</span></li>
</ul>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes conducting an SEO audit may not, on a surface level, reveal the reason why your site is being penalised by Google. But, it is a good first step to determine the overall health of the site and what </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">might </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">be impacting ranking fluctuations. Which is always a valuable asset in these instances.</span></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-implement-seo-fixes">Implement SEO Fixes</h2>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, ideally following an update you should be able to determine what the issue is. Most often you will find an issue such as a bad link profile, thin content or something equally as basic will have been brought to light as a result of the update. In which case, focusing on these areas for improvement is the simplest way to recover following any drops/fluctuations.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>IMPORTANT NOTE</strong>: Wait. Just wait. Let your rankings fluctuate even out and settle before implementing any changes or fixes. In some cases, the ranking may return to its pre-update positive after a week or so. If it does not, then you may consider the drop to be permanent and the necessary ‘fixes’ can be implemented in order to attempt recovery.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the whole, if a definitive problem is not discernable you may just have to do a checklist of best practice. From here, you may need to experiment and try to recover your lost rankings over time instead.</span></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-best-defense">The Best Defense…</h2>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is a good offense. It’s an age-old saying, but applies to many things in life; including SEO.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Realistically, in order to try and avoid fluctuations following Google Updates in the first place, then you need to have a good baseline to begin with. Following best practice, avoiding tactics which may be considered ‘black hat’ and ensuring your site is technically sound should be part of your </span><a href="https://www.redcowmedia.co.uk/seo-manchester/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">SEO Manchester</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> campaigns as standard.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, this isn’t always the case. Bad practice and poor SEO is implemented every day. And, in some cases, you will be presented with a site that is in desperate need of recovery following an update for that very reason. In which case, the key strategy is not necessary to recover from the update. But, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">instead, </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">to ensure that the site is following best practice in the first place. As in most cases, one will result in the other.</span></p>

<p><a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/major-google-algorithm-updates-years/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A Quick Look At The Major Google Algorithm Updates Throughout The Years</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-final-thoughts">Final Thoughts</h2>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Overall, a Google Update isn’t the end of the world for your rankings. Even if your site does experience fluctuations. But you do need to handle it in a way that follows best practice and allows for your site to recover following fluctuations. No drop is ever permanent, if you ranked well before you can do so again. </span></p>



<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finding your way back after a drop, however, is not always straightforward. Understanding and working with this in mind, then, is the only way to effectively circumnavigate this complicated SEO scenario. Google Updates are there to improve the search engine. Keep that in mind in all instances and you should be able to recover following Google&#8217;s basic principles. </span></p>

<p>Google is the most powerful search engine in the world because it always looks for new ways to provide better and more accurate service. When we talk about <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/complete-seo-guide-for-beginners/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><u>SEO</u></a>, we talk about Google. And here we will talk How to use Google algorithms to promote your website.</p>



<p>Reports show that <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a href="https://www.searchenginepeople.com/blog/40-unbelievable-seo-statistics-need-know.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">93% of the entire web traffic</a></u></span> comes from a search engine, with Google keeping the vast majority of the market share with <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/216573/worldwide-market-share-of-search-engines/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">almost 90%</a></u></span>. What makes this search engine so dominant for so long?</p>



<p>The answer lies in <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/major-google-algorithm-updates-years/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google algorithms</a> since the platform is constantly changing and improving the way it filters search results. Back in 2018, they reported an incredible <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a href="https://moz.com/google-algorithm-change" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">3,234 algorithm updates</a></u></span> — an average of almost nine per day.</p>



<p>Now, the most important question for you as a webmaster is this: How to use Google algorithms to promote your website in 2019- 2025? Our job is to help you with that, so keep reading to see nine ways to get over Google’s algorithm changes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-google-algorithms-definition-and-evolution"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;">Google Algorithms: Definition and Evolution</span></h2>



<p>If you want to stay on top of the trends, you need to understand the concept of algorithms and how Google changed them over the years.</p>



<p>By definition, an <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a href="https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-definition-of-the-Google-algorithm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">algorithm</a></u></span> is a set of rules designed to solve a problem in a finite number of steps. The definition applies to every algorithm, including Google’s, which basically means that the platform uses a highly specific formula to identify the most appropriate search results for each query.</p>



<p>Given the fact that Google typically changes its algorithm 500 t0 600 times a year, it is essential to track progress and react promptly. It’s impossible to explain the entire history of <strong>Google algorithms</strong> in one post, but we can point out the most important updates:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li> <b style="font-size: revert;">Google Panda:</b><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;"> Google released the Panda update in 2011 to reduce the influence of low-quality websites and boost the ranking of pages serving top-notch content. The point was to undermine sites with lots of </span><a style="font-size: revert;" href="https://www.trickyenough.com/how-to-check-duplicate-content/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">duplicate content</a><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">, low value, ads, and so on.</span> </li>



<li> <b style="font-size: revert;">Google Penguin</b><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">: Google released the Penguin update in 2012 to focus on sites with a huge number of irrelevant </span><a style="font-size: revert;" href="https://www.trickyenough.com/internal-linking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">inbound links</a><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">. From this point on, it was much more difficult to boost ranking by buying backlinks or generating them artificially.</span> </li>



<li> <b style="font-size: revert;">Google Hummingbird</b><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">: Google released the Hummingbird update in 2013 and it turned out to be the most influential change of all. Namely, the new algorithm has been designed to accurately interpret user intent and the true meaning behind search phrases, thus enabling Google to find better results and improving ranking results.</span> </li>



<li> <b style="font-size: revert;">Google Pigeon</b><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">: Google released the Pigeon update in 2014 with the highly specific goal in mind and that was to improve location-based search results. The algorithm takes into account maps and local directories to give more precise location-specific information.</span> </li>



<li> <b style="font-size: revert;">Google Fred</b><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">: Google released the Fred update in 2017 but refused to make any comments about it. Jake Gardner, the SEO expert at the </span><span style="font-size: revert; color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><u><a href="https://www.proessaywriting.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">professional essay writing service</a></u></span><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">, says the update is surrounded with controversy: “However, we can say that the change affects low-value websites that concentrate on making a profit instead of providing quality content.”</span> </li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-9-ways-to-take-advantage-of-google-algorithm-updates"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;">9 Ways to Take Advantage of Google Algorithm Updates</span></h2>



<p>Now that you understand t<strong>he basic rules of use Google algorithms</strong>, it is time to focus on the most important aspect of the post. Of course, we are talking about the ways to stay on track and build a high-ranking website. Although there are many different solutions to the problem, we selected the nine fundamental tips here.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"> 1. Create top-notch content </h3>



<p>After everything we’ve mentioned so far, it is clear that only top-notch content can end up on the <a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/rank-on-google-first-page-without-backlinks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">first page of search engine results</a>. You must provide real value in your posts and give users the reason to enjoy the content.</p>



<p>First of all, make sure to create long-form articles that cover themes from all angles. A study shows that the average Google first page result contains <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a href="https://backlinko.com/search-engine-ranking" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1,890 words</a></u></span>. It’s a general rule of thumb you need to respect because only longer posts can impress readers.</p>



<p>Secondly, your opinions should be backed by relevant data, statistical findings, and researches. It will make the content look more credible and authoritative in the eyes of your audience and Google, respectively.</p>



<p><strong>Suggeted:</strong></p>



<p><a href="https://www.trickyenough.com/how-long-should-a-blog-post-be/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">How long a blog post should be</a>?</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Mix different formats </h3>



<p>The second advice is also content-related. Although most creators focus on textual posts, you should make use of other formats to improve the quality of your content. What makes this tip so important?</p>



<p>Well, it turns out that Google loves multimedia content because it boosts engagement. For example, the average user spends almost <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a href="https://www.oberlo.com/blog/video-marketing-statistics" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">90% more time</a></u></span> on a website containing video content. Another report mentions that blogs with images earn <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a href="https://seotribunal.com/blog/blogging-statistics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">94% more views</a></u></span>.</p>



<p>The bottom line is that you should make the website versatile and add many different types of content to it, including podcasts, videos, infographics, animations, and similar.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Optimize Your Website </h3>



<p>This one goes without saying, but we can never overestimate the influence of SEO on website ranking. As a webmaster, you probably know lots of optimization tricks already, so we will mention the essentials only:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li> <strong style="font-size: revert;">Keyword research</strong><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">: There is no better way to identify keywords than using </span><span style="font-size: revert; color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><u><a href="https://ads.google.com/home/tools/keyword-planner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Keyword Planner</a></u></span><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">. The tool will present you a full list of search terms, phrases, and synonyms that suits your topics the most.</span> </li>



<li> <strong style="font-size: revert;">Optimize Titles and Descriptions</strong><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">: Google’s algorithms will closely examine webpage titles and descriptions, so don’t forget to optimize the two elements.</span> </li>



<li> <strong style="font-size: revert;">Images</strong><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">: Users often look for visual content and you also have to create appropriate image tags.</span> </li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4.<strong> Increas</strong>e webpage load speed </h3>



<p>Do you know that 53% of the web surfers leave pages that take longer than three seconds to load? Content consumers demand efficiency and you need to indulge them if you don’t want to lose visitors.</p>



<p>Needless to say, Google pays special attention to page load speed and penalizes slow sites. This is why we recommend you to use <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a href="https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google’s Page Speed Insights</a></u></span> to analyze website performance.</p>



<p>It takes this platform only a few seconds to analyze the URL and you’ll get a comprehensive overview of the most relevant metrics. Besides that, Page Speed Insights will give you practical suggestions on how to improve load times.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Optimize for mobile experiences </h3>



<p>Another major algorithm update focused exclusively on mobile-powered web browsing. Bearing in mind that <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/241462/global-mobile-phone-website-traffic-share/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">over 50%</a></u></span> of Internet traffic is mobile, it is natural to see Google penalizing websites that don’t take care of smartphone users.</p>



<p>For this reason, it is essential to optimize your site for mobile usage and ensure effortless experiences. As usual, Google offers you help with that. Namely, you can conduct a <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a href="https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">mobile-friendliness test</a></u></span> to learn how your site performs on smartphone devices.</p>



<p>Such insights will help you to improve the design of your site and boost ranking in Google searches long-term.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"> 6. Identify and fix broken links </h3>



<p>Google (and all other search engines) hate broken links. It is one of the worst features in the SEO universe that can ruin years of hard work and optimization efforts. In such circumstances, identifying and fixing broken links becomes mandatory.</p>



<p>Fortunately, there are tools such as <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://www.trickyenough.com/broken-link-checker-wordpress-plugin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><u>Broken Link Checker</u></a></span> to help you speed up the process. A platform like this one automates website monitoring, so you can react quickly and replace it with a functional alternative. It will improve the quality of your website and save you from possible ranking downfalls.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"> 7. Customize URLs </h3>



<p>You don’t have to be a website optimization guru to notice the difference between good-looking and poorly-designed URLs. Let’s say that you are writing a post about entitled <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a href="https://my-assignment.help/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">help with my assignment</a></u></span> and now need to choose between one of these two options:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
