Link Spam Broad Core Update starts rolling out on 26th July 2021, This will impacts Backlinks like spammy, manipulative, affiliates, and guest posts the most, So there is a higher chance of getting negative effects, It is the biggest update that we're seeing in the very near future.

Here are some key points regarding Link Spam Broad Core Update:

  • Rolling out worldwide.
  • In the next two weeks, it will be completely rolled out.
  • The Link Spam Broad Core Update will affect all languages.
  • Google's Link Spam Update will improve Google's ability to identify link spam.
  • Both incoming and outgoing links will be affected.

Google systems will understand unnatural link practices like spammy links, Which are used to boost Search Rankings in a better way.

I have summarized the relationships links below:-

->From 2005 ( Lanched):-

No-Follow Attribute

->From 2019 ( Lanched):-

-Sponsored Link Attribute

-UGC Link Attribute

-No-Follow Sponsored Link Attribute

-NoFollow UGC Link Attribute

Here are some prevention tips you can follow:-

  1. Whenever you give a link to an external webpage, make sure you declare the link relationship attribute according to best practices. This attribute informs Google about the relationship between the web page and you. Give no-follow to untrustworthy sites.
  2. After this update, all Affiliate links should have sponsored relationship attributes for best practices.
  3. The lack of Sponsored rel attribute could result in manual or algorithmic penalties from Google.
  4. Even if you already give No-Follow to affiliate sites, you still need to add the Sponsored rel attribute. Otherwise, you will be penalized.
  5. All guest posts, sponsored posts, and links should have sponsored relationship attributes, even if it is an author link, contextual link, or sponsored by line.
  6. If your website has sponsored or affiliate links, use sponsored relationship attribute. If you have an affiliate website, make all links sponsored relationship attributes.

Therefore, if your website is larger and you want to change your links to sponsored relationship attribute now, do it now.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related.
