There’s been a lot going on in Google search during the last few weeks – the June 2021 Core Update, the Page Experience Update, two spam updates, the July 2021 Core Update and finally the Link Spam Update. That makes 6 officially confirmed Google updates since the start of June<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve noticed unusually strong ranking fluctuations<\/strong> from early June until late July, there’s a good chance that i’s related to one or multiple of these updates. To help you keep track of everything that happened during the last weeks, we will provide you with a clear overview in this article and we\u2019ll also explain what you can do if you\u2019ve been hit by one of the updates!<\/p>\n

Overview of Google updates during the last weeks<\/h2>\n

Google released 6 officially confirmed updates since the start of June, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • the June 2021 Core Update (from June 2 to June 12) which was slightly different from the typical core update\u2026<\/li>\n
  • the Page Experience Update<\/a> (from June 15), making Core Web Vitals an official ranking factor<\/li>\n
  • two unexpected spam updates (on June 23 and June 28)<\/li>\n
  • the July 2021 Core Update (from July 1 to July 12) which is part 2 of the June 2021 Core Update<\/li>\n
  • the Link Spam Update (from July 26) that aims to detect spammy backlinks more effectively<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Let\u2019s take a closer look at each of these updates.<\/p>\n

    June 2021 Core Update<\/h3>\n

    After a six-month wait since the last core update in December, Google announced the June 2021 Core Update on June 2. For the first time in the history of core updates, it wasn\u2019t rolled out at once but split into two parts, with the July 2021 Core Update following a month later (more on that below).<\/p>\n

    \n

    Later today, we are releasing a broad core update, as we do several times per year. It is called the June 2021 Core Update. Our guidance about such updates is here:https:\/\/t.co\/e5ZQUA3RC6<\/a><\/p>\n

    This will be followed by the July 2021 Core update. Here\u2019s more information about that\u2026<\/p>\n
