10 Tips for Coming Out on Top After a Google Core Update

After several devastating Google algorithms and core updates, many websites, especially small blogs, lost significant amounts of traffic to their sites. If your site has also been affected, you’re not alone.

We looked at a few interesting case studies that provided great insights into the most effective ways to optimize websites for SEO after the Google helpful content update. And summarized the best advice into these ten tips. Follow along and take note.

The problem is even the expert SEOs don’t have a clear idea of what works these days. So following random, untested advice is not going to work this time. Let’s find out how to fix and improve your site, according to research-backed data.
