Improved Quality Ranking
According to Google’s March 2024 Score Update, one of the main focuses is improving Google’s ranking systems.
Google Said –
“We’re making algorithmic enhancements to our core ranking systems to ensure we surface the most helpful information on the web and reduce unoriginal content in search results,” stated Elizabeth Tucker, Director of Product for Search at Google.
Google has been working since 2022 to eliminate unsupported and non-original content, and the March 2024 update is based on that processor. Refined ranking systems are expected to understand better that pages are more helpful, have a better user experience, or are designed for search engines rather than humans.
March 2024 Score Update Google expects this update to combine to reduce low-quality and unoriginal content in search results by 40%.
Google Said:
“We believe these updates will reduce the low-quality content in Search and send more traffic to helpful and high-quality sites. Based on our evaluations, we expect that combining this update and our previous efforts will collectively reduce low-quality, unoriginal content in search results by 40%.”
March 2024 New Sperm Policy
In this update, Google says it has implemented its sperm policy to remove low-quality content.
Google Said:
“We’ll take action on more types of these manipulative behaviors starting today. While our ranking systems keep many low-quality content from ranking highly on Search, these updates allow us to take more targeted action under our spam policies.”
March 2024 Scaled Content Abuse
Google has strengthened its policies against using automation to create low-quality and unoriginal content to manipulate rankings. Whether automation involves humans or a combination, updating policies will focus on abusive behavior at scale to increase Google search rankings.
Google Said:
“This will allow us to take action on more types of content with little to no value created at scale, like pages that pretend to have answers to popular searches but fail to deliver helpful content.”
March 2024 Spam Update Site Reputation Abuse
In this update, Google addressed the issue of low-quality reputation abuse where trusted websites host low-quality third-party content to capitalize on the hosting service’s strong reputation. Some of the problems of Google site reputation abuse are listed below.
“For example, a third party might publish payday loan reviews on a trusted educational website to gain ranking benefits from the site. Such content ranking highly in Search can confuse or mislead visitors with vastly different expectations for the content on a given website.”
Expired Domain Abuse
In the March 2024 Google Core and Spam Update, Google will specifically target expired domains for abuse. These low-quality and math passers who abuse the low-quality content repurpose those domains to boost rankings. This practice can confuse users by breaking new content into old trusted sites.
