Good To Know In SEO: Google Update Caters to News and Magazine Websites
Google updated its core search algorithm in the middle of June, and Search Metrics SEO Blog noticed it largely benefited websites belonging to news publications. The websites for Fortune, NBC News, Tech Crunch, Business Insider and the Wall Street Journal were among the winners in SEO visibility because of the latest Google update, which largely focused on informational and newsworthy keywords. Search Engine Land writer Barry Schwartz said even his small SEO news site, seroundtable.com, saw a 134 percent increase in keyword visibility on Google and a 25 percent increase in Google organic referrals a week after the update.
