Over the past few days, while I was offline, the SEO chatter around the Google search ranking volatility continued to be super heated. The Google tracking tools seemed to calm down a bit, but the chatter is still very heated. This is all while the Google March 2024 core update is still rolling out 51 days later.
There are many sites seeing more and more movement, not all for the better. Those hit by the September 2023 helpful content update are still not seeing any recoveries, many are showing even more declines. And those hit by other updates in the past are seeing all kinds of things.
We reported on the March core update volatility on April 17th, April 14th and numerous times before.
