In the past few weeks the SEO industry have been witnessing a large Google ranking or algorithm update happening right now in the core Google web search results. This update has been named the Fred update[unofficial] and it seems to target more of the link quality aspects of the overall algorithm. There is a drop in traffic happened on most sites on the 7th of March 2017 and has continued.

The discussion forums , social groups, blogs are actively discussing about this update and how it will impact their business. Just came across this thought I would share maybe some will find useful an explore more. Here are the possible reasons behind the victims

• Spam Backlinks
• Sidewide links from PBN [Private Blog Network - A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a network of authoritative websites used to build links to your money website(s) for the purpose of ranking higher in the Google search engine.]
• Same Anchor text every where

 Possible ways to overcome this penalty

• Don't use Low Quality PBN.
• Quality Comments on the website.
• Remove all duplicate content.
• Always use Meta Description to optimize your Keywords.
• Check your website code validations

 Google has not confirmed or denied an update – we are waiting to hear back from Google on if they have any comment or not.
