Huge Google Update coming in May

[Khawk1]

Hi everyone.

I was just checking some Youtube videos and discovered this update that's coming next month.
Guess many of my fellow Babiato`s need o get working so you not get hit in this next update.

Check out this video. (Not my video!)

And here is an article (Not my article).

Understanding Google Page Experience | Google Search Central | Documentation | Google for Developers

Your page experience can impact how your site ranks in Search results. Learn how to evaluate your site and deliver a good page experience.

The strange thing, however..
I see that one of the signals Google wants is engagement/clicks on your page, to show its a real visitor and not a bot.
However I am thinking this will lead to a massive influx of spammy popups that will solve the issue for the blogger, but make the website experience worse for the user.

Anyway, best of luck, and make you follow all the guidelines so you not get slammed when the update hits like a train next month.

Well, it's been in the talks for a long time, and I think the main ranking factor is STILL gonna be having tons of backlinks. Look at Amazon, it just bad optimized but still always ranks #1 if you look up products

So if your website is highly optimized and loads fast, you still won't rank that high, as other sites with bad/no optimization at all, but with backlinks.

How can you even compare one of the most powerful search engines and online shopping platforms in the world with a normal affiliate website?

Amazon is 100% authority.
Literally just as powerful as Google, just in regards to shopping, not regular search.

Amazon ranks because of their authority.
Not because of backlinks or anything else.

Google also stated several times over the last few years that the amount of backlinks you got it not super important, its the relevance and quality of those backlinks = 1 DR 90 domain in your niche will out perform 90 DR 1 irrelevant backlinks.

But Yes, maybe you can manage to rank for a few keywords based on Spam links but the more you focus on quality the better you will do.

But if you know how to optimize the website properly. Then you don't need to worry about this.

I provided Amazon as an example, even though authority is based on the popularity of a brand and incoming backlinks, plus some other factors.

It is a fact that nowadays you won't rank on page 1 with a super-fast optimized website for high volume keywords, it's just not gonna happen if you have no backlinks or your site is new.

Google just wants to stop people from buying links in any way, that's why they just say optimize, make your site fast bla bla bla, when in fact, it is probably in the 3rd place of most important ranking factors. And just FYI, i don't offer any link building or similar services, the information I shared is based on my experience.

Very true, but most sites are not optimized properly, unfortunately.

I was prepared for this. All my sites were optimized.

Really don't care, anyhow, anyway, Google will find my site
