There is currently a lot of talk on all sites due to the latest Google Maccabees update.
This update reportedly mainly affects affiliate sites, some say this was accurate for sites with multiple categories and subcategories like e-commerce structures, some say it’s a bug with the algorithm that shows private class sites over quality sites higher.
However, many people in the business industry are aware of some sites that have been affected, so this is your time to stay tuned for details. You can even share your URL with an SEO expert and let them know if your site is under changes or not. You can also hire a reputed SEO company for the same. This Google Maccabees update was last seen on December 12, 2017. It was initially noted to be a minor update, but then it became more extensive than the usual update.
There are numerous patterns, not just one, that can indicate that numerous updates were implemented, which of course is Google’s success in Google’s algorithmic updates. These updates appear to be worldwide and therefore affect not only English sites, but also sites available in all languages and regions.
To confirm these changes, even Google also confirmed that they have released some minor improvements during this time that are part of our usual and routine efforts to increase relevancy.
keyword permutations
For now, most of the sites and landing pages that target massive sets of keyword permutations are multi-category sites, such as e-commerce sites. So, for example, if they are a tour and travel site, they would show all the destinations and also add their possible landing pages for particular pages. Most of those sites fit the keyword permutations model.
Fred’s symptoms
There were also some sites that have low and high ads and affiliate sites that will also undergo changes with this Google Maccabees update. And then there are the sites that seemed perfectly designed, well structured, great informative content, simple user interface, but still got attacked by Google and why is still unknown.
In addition to the above, there are some security issues related to this Google Maccabees update. It’s really bad for some of the sites that were good and don’t deserve to see such a change in their Google organic traffic based on the new update analysis. There are several affiliate sites that still rank well on search engines. So surely it is not an update related to affiliates.
