Google restated previous advice that there is no fix if your site was negatively impacted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-content\">\n<p>Google on Wednesday confirmed that it released a broad core search ranking algorithm update this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur guidance about such updates remains as we\u2019ve covered before,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Google Search Liaison Danny Sullivan\u00a0confirmed\u00a0this update started March 12.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why it matters.<\/strong>\u00a0Google does several core ranking updates per year and confirms very few updates throughout the year. Specific to broad core updates, Google has said\u00a0numerous\u00a0times\u00a0that you cannot do anything specific to fix your rankings. Google\u2019s previous advice is, \u201cthere\u2019s no \u2018fix\u2019 for pages that may perform less well other than to remain focused on building great content. Over time, it may be that your content may rise relative to other pages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If your rankings did change recently, it may have been related to this broad core ranking update and not necessarily related to a technical change you made on your website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What changed?<\/strong>\u00a0Right now it is very early and it is hard to guess what has changed. Based on the\u00a0SEO chatter\u00a0around this update, prior to Google confirming the update, some are saying this was again targeting the health\/medical space. But, Google has said there was no specific target at medical or health sites with that\u00a0August 1st update.<\/p>\n<p>It is hard to know which types of sites were impacted the most right now. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you updated on any insights we see related to this update.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 144px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 109px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 990.8px; height: 109px;\">\n<h3 class=\"et_pb_module_header\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #3366ff;\">Get your website unstuck now!

Some are focused around specific improvements. Some are broad changes. Last week, we released a broad core algorithm update. We do these routinely several times per year.<\/p>\n<p>As with any update, some sites may note drops or gains. There\u2019s nothing wrong with pages that may now perform less well. Instead, it\u2019s that changes to our systems are benefiting pages that were previously under-rewarded.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no \u201cfix\u201d for pages that may perform less well other than to remain focused on building great content.
