Google has just started rolling out their December Core "Algorithm" Update and I'm seeing some of the dumbest stuff I've seen in years. They have really screwed with the rankings big time and here is the major correlation I see between all keywords I'm tracking.
Social media sites jumped up in rankings. I see Pinterest, Facebook, Reddit posts that all used to rank on page 2, 3, or 4 on page 1 now.
Here is the other big winner. Medium.com is ranking for all kinds of stuff. Posts that were no where to be seen for a couple years now appearing on page 1. I can't go into the keywords I'm tracking but the correlations are fairly consistent. Deep state controlled websites got a huge boost (as they always do, but this is very noticeable)
It's like they knew they needed to make some drastic changes right now in order to keep information control.
And the people talking on the boards that have been hit big. Small business, as usual. They are crushing the little guys again right before Christmas.
This is one of the Dumbest Core Updates I've seen in a long long time. Pinterest taking up multiple slots. I looked up a keyword I was ranking #3 for and it's now on page 2, but page 3 and 4 both have multiple Pinterest urls ranking. Noone cares about Pinterest. They are ranking all different country extensions of Pinterest.
This is big nonsense shuffle to screw over more people that do business online. Amazon rankings never go down.
Google needs to be crushed.
