Helpful Content Update and Visitor Expectations - S3 Episode 20
In this episode I am ripping the bandage off of the Helpful Content Update - what is it? what does it do? how do we cope with it when everything we're told by Google is so vague.
What is it about this signal that is NOT covered in the core algorithm? How might it be measured?
If you're easily offended or too vested in believing surrogates, then I recommend that you avoid this episode.
Here are the links to the articles and documents that I reference throughout.
