On the heels of the last unconfirmed Google Search ranking algorithm update that touched down on October 25th, I am seeing signs of another tremor this morning – October 27th. Again, this is an unconfirmed update, Google has not announced any official update. This would be the second tremor post the completion of the Google […]
I am seeing signs of another possible Google Search ranking algorithm update today that kicked off last night into today (October 24 and October 25). This is an unconfirmed update, Google has not announced any official update yet but maybe this is the first set of tremors post the completion of the Google October 2023 […]

Google is now also rolling out the October 2023 core update. This is happening while Google is rolling out the October 2023 spam update and only weeks after Google finished rolling out the August 2023 core update. Also, this is weeks after the September helpful content update. Got all of that? The new Google October […]
