At least we had a quiet weekend for the first time in a while, but that didn't last long. Monday, May 16th, we once again saw multiple signals of a possible Google search ranking algorithm update that has not been confirmed by Google.
I am seeing spikes in both levels of chatter about an update from within the SEO community, where SEOs are noticing ranking changes with their sites in Google Search. I am also seeing a spike in all the tracking tools in terms of the volatility of the search rankings in Google's search results.
We are due, very due, a core update from Google. The last core update we had was on November 17, 2021 - which is 6 months ago today. We expect these core updates every 3-6 months and today is the 6 month mark.
In any event, we had many more core-like unconfirmed updates including the Mother's Day update, the May 1st update, April 20 and 21st update, April 18th update, April 13th and 14th and another update on March 18th both did not get confirmed by Google. Also one on March 11th and March 4th and so on. The last confirmed update was March 2022 Product Reviews Update and that ended on April 11th.
So what are we seeing with this May 16th update?
