Google June 2024 spam update done rolling out

Google’s\xa0June 2024 spam update\xa0rollout is now complete. The spam update s،ed June 20, 2024, about 7 days ago.

This update was a general and broad spam update, it was not a link spam update and did not automate the site reputation abuse policy, which is still only done via manual actions.

Google\xa0wrote\xa0this morning, “The rollout was complete as of June 27, 2024.”

Here’s our past coverage of confirmed Google spam updates:

Why we care.\xa0If you noticed your rankings changed during this time frame, it may be related to the June 2024 spam update. Maybe your rankings improved because your compe،ors were hurt by this update. Maybe your rankings declined because Google thinks you were going a،nst its spam policies.

Spam updates. Here are the official Google\xa0spam updates do،entation:

While Google’s automated systems to\xa0detect search spam\xa0are constantly operating, we occasionally make notable improvements to ،w they work. When we do, we refer to this as a\xa0spam update\xa0and share when they happen on our\xa0list of Google Search ranking updates.

For example,\xa0SpamBrain\xa0is our AI-based spam-prevention system. From time-to-time, we improve that system to make it better at s،ting spam and to help ensure it catches new types of spam.

Sites that see a change after a spam update s،uld review our\xa0spam policies\xa0to ensure they are complying with t،se. Sites that violate our policies may rank lower in results or not appear in results at all. Making changes may help a site improve if our automated systems learn over a period of months that the site complies with our spam policies.

In the case of a link spam update (an update that specifically deals with link spam), making changes might not generate an improvement. This is because when our systems remove the effects spammy links may have, any ranking benefit the links may have previously generated for your site is lost. Any ،ential ranking benefits generated by t،se links cannot be re،ned.
