google dec 2020 update

Have you seen an increase or decrease in the traffic of your website from last night or are you experiencing the dip in the ranking of the keywords?


Then you are reading the right blog as we are going to tell you most of the things about new Google core update as well as the expert opinion about it.


What Is The Core Algorithm Google Update?

In simple terms, Google is updating its search engine on a regular basis so that the relevant and good websites or suggestions are shown to the user. Google does it on a regular basis and generally doesn’t do any announcements about it. But sometimes, these updates are big and they have the capability to impact a large number of webmasters and users. So, in this case, Google announces its update in advance so that webmasters are prepared in advance.


Will This Dec 2020 Google Core Algorithm Update Going To Impact my SEO?

As said earlier, Google mainly focuses on improving the search results for the users, and in terms of achieving it, Google rewards those webmasters who have done the hard work and have created awesome content. But this doesn’t mean that your work will not get rewards or you have done something wrong. There is a great possibility that in the next update, you will get rewarded for your hard work as well. Since SEO means Search engine optimization, which means increasing the quality and quantity of the organic traffic on your website so it will impact your SEO as well.


Do I Have To Wait For The Next Update From Google For The Improvement On The Ranking Of My Keywords or How You Can Recover From Google’s Broad Core Algorithm?

No, there are many ways to improve the ranking of your websites like by creating mobile-friendly sides, using proper headings, using proper tags, answering the hot topics, creating original content, providing genuine and infographic data, removing low-quality content, etc. Since, Google always tries to provide the most relevant results to its users so there is a good chance that, your ranking will improve by following these steps. Also, as informed earlier, Google always rolls out updates and the search algorithm works on more than 500 parameters to determine the relevancy of a site for a particular keyword.

In Short, You Can Understand Them With Four Points Like:

1) It’s not the spamming for which you got penalized overnight especially when there is no news about it in your Google Webmaster tool.

2) The new update is all about ranking pages better which provides more relevant content to the users.

3)The websites or pages which lost traffic are not penalized. They are generally less relevant to the current trend.

4) You won’t have to wait for the next update for getting back your rank.


How Much Time It Will Take To Recover From This Core Update?

You have to understand that the core update is not the penalty. The penalty is when Google sends you a notice via Google webmaster for doing anything wrong or for doing spamming. It is similar to a situation in which colleges/universities change the weightage of different criteria for giving admissions. Similar to it, Google does experiment with its algorithm and keeps updating them as nothing is perfect for even Google itself. Lastly, the Google algorithm is constantly updating which means you won’t have to wait for the next big update to see if the improvements to your webpage have helped.

Is Core Algorithm Ranking Losses are Always About Quality?


These core updates are not a sign that there’s anything bad on your website. There are multiple factors due to which you have lost ranking. Yes, the quality of the content or other technical issues might be adding up to these losses but you have to keep your mind open and the best way is to do the complete website Audit and then try to improve all those factors/points which you think is impacting your keywords ranking.

Does this algorithmic update come overnight?

This core update generally takes 1-2 weeks to roll out all across the world so it might come early for you or might get delayed by some days, in any condition, please be assured that it will roll out for you as well. Google has stated yesterday at around 19:00 IST that it will roll out the new update and at around 12:00 am IST, they have started rolling out the new update for its users.

What is the initial impact or news about this new core update?

As per initial reports, blog users have seen the increase in the traffic on their blogs as well as those websites who were mainly mobile-friendly were rewarded. Also, websites, which were providing answers have been rewarded with the improve in the ranking of the keywords. Also, since Google maps update has come recently so there is a fair chance that they have been taken into consideration while rolling out these core updates. Companies having good reviews, online products with offers, image, brand. SKU, etc will get benefits.


I would suggest you all to not get panicked in this situation and wait for at least two weeks before changing any of your regular strategies as it will take at least two weeks to Google to roll out the update globally. In the meantime, you can add good quality content, which is always good as well as tries to get backlinks from those websites having good DA and PA with less SS.
