Latest Google Updates - Broad Core Algorithm Update

What is a Broad Core Algorithm Update?

Google does not generally announce updates to its core algorithm because the core algorithm updates happen almost every day, possibly twice a day. This update is different. It isn’t one of the usual daily Google updates. This update is a kind of update that happens several times per year. Google calls this update a Broad Core Algorithm Update.
