🚀 It is important to note that this update occurred after the main December update. Spam-apagne was launched to reduce the amount of "useless" content by 40%.

• 📌 During 2024, an unprecedented number of large algorithms were renovated, in particular in March, August, November and December.

2024 was marked by a change in Google's approach to detect and prevent spam using three major policy updates. For example, in May 2024, Google began fighting the practice of "parasitic SEO" when the content of third parties uses the authority of the already established domain.

This Update Mainly Affected: Major Publishers Hosting Third-Party Product Reviews, News Sites with Extension Coupon Sections, Sports Websites with Ai-Genered Content

• 📌 Other significant updates were the fight against abuse of outdated domains and large -scale content.

🚀 It is interesting that in June and November 2024 special updates against spam were carried out. They were aimed at breaking policies and improving the detection of automatically generated content.
