The October 2022 spam update targets search spam that violate Google’s Search Essentials.
In November 2021 Google completed a major refresh of Webmaster Guidelines, and with that, renamed it to Google Search Essentials.
What this really meant for you as site owners and what you have subsequently experienced during 2022 so far is technical requirements: Google published new rules to help site owners understand how to publish content in a format that Google Search can index and access that content.
Spam policies: Google updated its guidance for the Google Search policies against spam, “to help site owners avoid creating content that isn’t helpful for people using Search,” Google said. Note that most of the content in these spam policies has already existed on Google Search Central, Google did however make a few additions to provide clearer guidance and concrete examples for issues like deceptive behavior, link spam, online harassment, and scam and fraud.
Google published new guidance with key best practices for site owners to consider when creating sites. To create content that serves people better which in turn if applied, will help a site be more easily found through Google Search. Other changes were to organise content in a more logical structure and consolidating similar pages.
This is the eighth major Google algorithm update of 2022 – and the first spam update since the November 3rd 2021 roll out. This latest spam update is global and impacts all languages and is expected to take a week to complete rolling out.
