Google December Core Update

[Thomas Andreas]

I took a hit. I always take a hit it seems. However, so far it looks like it will be less severe compared to the May update.
at least this update doesnt seem to favor casinos over affiliate like the other one did

Give at least one more week from now before checking and reviewing your results.

shit, so more bad news can be coming you say

Wouldn't worry about it yet, I've had sites hit during updates in the past, and they ended finishing in a higher position afterwards.

We've also had sites disappear and then reappear with a higher position after the update fully rolled out.

We`ve been experienced some ups and downs but what i can see from it seems that we are now back to the situation before summer update.

There is a lot of scraper sites in the serps. Especially forum member profiles filled with thousands of words (scraped sentences)

The update finished rolling out last night, according to the search liaison account https://twitter.com/searchliaison/status/1339279864742830081 Hope people did ok. still not seeing the horrendous results others are in UK SERPS but I've been looking at sports terms mainly. I'll share my experiences when I'm back from my dog walk in a bit

i read it is over but a few sites still bouncing around

I had a massive boost., then dropped a little bit.. then another boost, then dropped a little bit more.. then when it was said to be finished got another boost that night. still seeing things bounce but overall results is good.. like pre May

Yeh still a lot of movements going on. The semrush sensor was high yesterday too.

I've heard reports of another update being rolled out in Jan. Not sure how true it is

 

[talkingcasinos]

Altogether, I'm not sure whether I had a boost or a drop. Probably just stayed the same.

 

[Kani John]

This update has had little impact on us

 

[AidanLCFC]

seems to be another update going on at the moment, and so far it hasn't been good for one of my sites. It got a right slap with the May update but a nice recovery in December's core update. although the day after got a little drop. If these results stick now I'm back to pre December levels and worse for some keywords. Not sure whether this update is finished (I really hope not) but certainly seeing lots of movement still today, not just for my site either. Anyone seeing anything or any patterns? keep it honest as well please people

"Not sure whether this update is finished"

It looks like the update is near the end: https://www.semrush.com/sensor/?db=UK&category=

 

[edgarf76]

There has been some pretty big serp changes over the past few days. Signals on algoroo, moz, semrush, ext are higher.

 

[JT_BeastsOfPoker]

Nice boost from each core update so far for us, exciting to see when will be the first one that gives us a drop.

i had a nice boot but this week massive dance and a big crawl in search console so i expect something else is happening right now

Yes over the last 24 hours I've seen some movement on one of my sites and competitors, its been a good trend recently

Love the CasinoWhizz design btw.

Overall a steady and slow improvement over the last year. Don't really see much movement from the core updates, when you look the first and last day, and nothing in between when pages are dancing all over the place.

John Mueller said something a while ago that proves to be true: the web has gotten too big, to be able to fit even the most exceptional sites in top 10 aka page 1.

That's probably why Google has been experimenting with "view more" button at the bottom for mobile browsing.
