If you’re writing content with the purpose of improve search engine visibility. It’s possible that you’ll be affected by this.

Does it smell like Panda?

Does this seem similar to Google Panda to you? This seems to me. However, Google said that the update is an addition to Panda that has been integrated into the Google algorithm core for a long time. This means that Panda continues to run. However, the update that is coming out today could be a brand new one, which could feel similar to what Panda had when it first came out however, it is a different one.

I am sure that this update will look back at in the future will be of the same level as Panda or Penguin. In the same way it made SEOs reconsider certain aspects of their SEO strategies. I believe this update is going to do that by rethinking the SEO and content marketing content strategies of some agencies.

The helpful update to content is not applicable to specific pages, but rather to the entire website. So, if you think that you can get around Google by moving the useless content to a subfolder, or subdomain? I’m advised that this may not be a good idea. Instead, you must delete the content or transform it into something that is super helpful.
