¿Qué actualizaciones importantes en SEO y qué algoritmos de clasificación deberían conocer todos los propietarios de sitios web / blogs?

El gigante de búsqueda en línea del mundo (también conocido como el motor de búsqueda de Google) introduce diferentes cambios en sus algoritmos generales de SEO y clasificación. Algunos de ellos son solo pequeños ajustes, y los otros ocasionalmente pueden sacudir todo el enfoque del ranking orgánico. en su lista relevante de los SERP. Pero en general, todas las actualizaciones importantes que se han llevado a cabo hasta ahora, y por lo tanto son de la más crucial importancia para todo el ámbito del SEO orgánico de Google, algoritmos de clasificación, así como el resto de cambios significativos relacionados con ese punto (por ejemplo, actualizaciones algorítmicas en sí mismas, ajustes fundamentales, penalizaciones de clasificación, etc.): caen en ocho actualizaciones primarias de algoritmo.

Desde el punto de vista de SEO, estos algoritmos de clasificación son comúnmente conocidos entre los expertos de la industria bajo los siguientes nombres:

  • Algoritmo Panda (de febrero) 24 de 2011);
  • actualización de Penguin (iniciada el 24 de abril de 2012);
  • Hummingbird (lanzado el 22 de agosto de 2013);
  • Paloma (de julio a diciembre de 2014);
  • Mobile-First Index (inicialmente entregado en abril de 2015);
  • Al igual que RankBrain (con fecha del 26 de octubre de 2015);
  • y actualización del algoritmo Possum (iniciada el 1 de septiembre de 2016).

Dicho todo esto, a continuación, voy a ejecutar rápidamente cada actualización de algoritmo original en mayor detalle. En última instancia, para darle una idea completa de todos sus cambios de tráfico, que pueden haberse correlacionado con los cambios más significativos en SEO y los principales algoritmos de clasificación que han tenido lugar hasta el momento. Entonces, veámoslos a todos.

Cambios dramáticos en SEO: 8 Algoritmos de clasificación y actualizaciones de máxima importancia

Panda

Esta primera actualización de algoritmo principal se había entregado inicialmente para abordar los problemas primarios relacionados con el contenido, como contenido demasiado pequeño, duplicado, plagiado, spam en la página, así como el resto de los problemas potenciales, como el "sobretibulado de palabras clave". Para todos los propietarios de sitios web y escritores de blogs, Panda ha creado una necesidad urgente de ejecutar un control regular ups para detectar cualquier duplicación de contenido y posibles ocurrencias con artículos / publicaciones demasiado delgados / "sobre-rellenos" y elementos HTML en la página (como metadescripciones, etiquetas ALT de imagen, etc.). Y para detectar todos estos problemas relacionados y realizar un ajuste oportuno, personalmente recomiendo usar herramientas de rastreo de sitios web, como Semalt Website Analyzer, Screaming Frog SEO Spider, PowerSuite Website Auditor y cualquier otra plataforma de análisis en línea con buena reputación y rendimiento comprobado. Más específicamente, para las ocurrencias de contenido relacionado con plagio y problemas de duplicación externa, se recomienda el uso de herramientas de comprobación en línea como Copyscape, ETXT Antiplagiat o cualquier otra ayuda relacionada, que es popular entre los webmasters profesionales y escritores de contenido.

Penguin

Entre las otras actualizaciones importantes, Penguin generalmente estaba relacionado con los algoritmos de posicionamiento y SEO fuera de la página, que tenían se diseñó inicialmente para abordar los problemas de enlaces externos que aparecen con mayor frecuencia, como los enlaces spam e irrelevantes y aquellos incorporados con un enlace de texto de enlace demasiado optimizado. Tenga en cuenta que, a diferencia de la actualización del algoritmo Panda, Penguin está trabajando en tiempo real, principalmente para adaptarse su principal objetivo es reducir el ranking de cada sitio web o blog, cuyo perfil de enlace externo lo considera engañoso o manipulador. Para los propietarios de sitios web y blogueros, este tipo de algoritmos de clasificación de SEO solo requiere el uso legítimo de técnicas White Hat en la creación de enlaces (es decir, backlinks para SEO solo de forma natural / orgánica - al menos sin usar Private Blog Networks, obtener enlaces pagos, unirse a Link Exchange, Link Wheels, o Automated Link Farms). Eso es todo.

Hummingbird

This la actualización del algoritmo había sido inicialmente diseñada para seguir abordando los problemas relacionados con el contenido, centrándose principalmente en el relleno de palabras clave y el contenido SEO de calidad generalmente baja (evaluado a los ojos del usuario en vivo, para ser más preciso). En otras palabras, Hummingbird trabaja para apoyar a Google con una mejor "comprensión" de las consultas de búsqueda, en última instancia, para proporcionar mejores resultados de búsqueda no solo con respecto a la concordancia exacta de palabra clave, sino considerando la intención principal del usuario detrás de la búsqueda misma. Desde el punto de vista de los webmasters y propietarios de sitios, ahora se recomienda centrarse más en el procesamiento del lenguaje natural y fácil de usar (de lo contrario, indexación semántica latente), en lugar de abusar de las principales palabras clave objetivo para maximizar la densidad promedio de palabras clave por cada página web. Ahora esas "técnicas" de optimización de contenido ya no funcionan. Además, esa sería una forma segura de ganar al menos una penalización de clasificación temporal.

Paloma

Entre los otros algoritmos de clasificación SEO locales, la actualización de Pigeon resalta la importancia de la ubicación real del usuario al entregar los mejores resultados de búsqueda basados en el comportamiento humano real. En pocas palabras, esta importante actualización de algoritmo está destinada a construir conexiones mucho más estrechas entre el algoritmo central general de Google y su modo orientado localmente de medir las posiciones de clasificación orgánicas para cada página web dentro de su índice. Desde el punto de vista del proceso general de optimización para la búsqueda local, Pigeon hizo hincapié en el uso correcto de los principales directorios comerciales relevantes, así como en las presentaciones de listados locales, y una elección adecuada de las categorías comerciales principales / secundarias. Eso es todo lo que necesita saber hasta ese punto.

Mobile-First Index

La actualización de algoritmo orientado a dispositivos móviles se diseñó principalmente para solucionar la falta de una versión del sitio web optimizada para dispositivos móviles, así como una funcionalidad móvil deficiente para usuarios navegando estándar dispositivos como teléfonos inteligentes y tabletas. En pocas palabras, su idea general era obtener todas las páginas que están mal optimizadas para UX optimizadas para dispositivos móviles, filtradas de la lista de búsqueda orgánica de Google o, al menos, tener una clasificación significativa de las SERP. En cuanto a usted, la actualización Mobile-First Index significa que debe centrarse ahora más en proporcionar una mejor velocidad de carga de página, en línea con el mantenimiento de la capacidad de uso portátil adecuada, para ser totalmente coherente al menos en los buscadores de Internet / aplicaciones móviles más populares.

RankBrain

Dado que este está completamente relacionado con el resto de los algoritmos de clasificación SEO basados en colibríes, este tweak generalmente se diseñó para trabajar en una mayor eliminación de contenido superficial y UX pobre. Por lo tanto, RankBrain simplemente sigue trabajando en el sistema de aprendizaje automático de Google que ayuda al motor de búsqueda a comprender el significado de las expresiones basadas en palabras clave detrás de sus consultas. En definitiva, para servir incluso mejores resultados de búsqueda, que se proporcionan como las mejores respuestas a esas consultas de búsqueda. Eso es.

Possum

Possum es otra actualización de algoritmo principal orientada localmente, que tuvo como objetivo proporcionar diversos resultados de búsqueda locales, que deberían ser aún más adaptados a la ubicación de búsqueda actual del usuario (es decir, en términos de la proximidad real). Dado que no hay nada demasiado específico al respecto (por supuesto, además de su enfoque renovado para la investigación de palabras clave, que nos llama a descubrir más términos de búsqueda específicos de ubicación, bajo una competencia de palabra clave realmente apretada en cada ubicación de destino), finalmente procedamos con la última actualización importante en SEO con respecto a los algoritmos de clasificación de la importancia central para las clasificaciones orgánicas de cada sitio web / blog.

Fred

El último de los algoritmos de clasificación de SEO oficialmente confirmados de Google, la actualización de Fred está dirigida únicamente a las principales directrices para webmasters (su mayor violaciones significativas, para ser más precisas). Entre otras, la mayor parte de las páginas web afectadas de baja calidad son blogs con contenido SEO fraudulento o generado automáticamente, que parecen tener el principal (y posiblemente el único) propósito de bombear el cantidades máximas de ingresos generados con anuncios. En otras palabras, Fred está diseñado para abordar cada contenido abierto en la página y pesado de afiliados (de lo contrario, centrado en la publicidad), que en realidad no ofrece ningún valor agregado para el usuario (es decir, nada más que daño, desde el punto de vista de UX perfectamente perfecto). Como resultado, ahora cada propietario de un sitio y, más específicamente, todos los escritores de blog sin excepción, al menos deberían estar atentos a tales violaciones de contenido para tomar medidas inmediatas. se recomienda revisar Pautas de calidad de búsqueda de Google para asegurarse de que cada página web que muestra anuncios en realidad puede proporcionar datos completamente informativos, amplios y puramente relevantes de calidad genuinamente alta.

Es por eso que probablemente debería reconsiderar sus propias páginas, y simplemente asegurarse de que no se trata de engañar con los algoritmos de clasificación SEO de Google (particularmente en caso de que tenga muchas páginas de entrada, que en realidad están repletos de enlaces de afiliados, anuncios publicitarios y cualquier otro medio de publicidad comercial que pueda dañar la experiencia de usuario positiva neta que proporciona con su sitio web o páginas de blog). Por supuesto, la mayoría de los editores están sacando ganancias de los afiliados, seamos sinceros, en realidad las molestas ventanas emergentes y anuncios publicitarios ocasionalmente se llevan la mayor parte del espacio en la página. De esta forma, todo podría parecer aceptable (al menos desde el punto de vista de las violaciones más explícitas contra las principales directrices para webmasters de Google). Pero bajo cualquier circunstancia, el gigante de búsquedas del mundo sigue haciendo todo lo posible para proporcionar una mejor experiencia de usuario, por lo que debe tener en cuenta que su sitio web o blog de marketing sigue teniendo como objetivo ofrecer un valor añadido mensurable al usuario con solo original y puramente relevante contenido, ante todo. Al hacerlo, siempre tendrá una gran sala para que su duro esfuerzo otorgado con mayores ingresos muestre publicidades emergentes o coloque pancartas. Solo asegúrate de estar centrado en el usuario, en lugar de maximizar tu potencial de generación de ingresos con la obtención de demasiados anuncios molestos, y listo.

Sorry about that, Emma. As I was saying, for example, the Pigeon algorithm update in 2014 aimed to improve the accuracy of local search results.

With the increasing usage of mobile devices for browsing, Google aims to provide better search experiences for mobile users. If your website is already mobile-friendly and responsive, you shouldn't experience significant ranking impacts. However, if your site is not optimized for mobile devices, it can lead to lower rankings on both mobile and desktop search results.

It's important to ensure that each page on your website contains unique and valuable content. If you have similar content on multiple pages, consider using canonical tags to indicate the preferred version to search engines. Additionally, regularly monitor your website for any instances of unintentional duplicate content, such as through content scraping or duplicate product descriptions. If you have any more questions or need further guidance on managing duplicate content, feel free to ask!

Pages with high user engagement metrics are generally seen as more valuable and deserving of higher rankings. This is because these metrics indicate that users find the content useful, engaging, and relevant to their search queries.

Igor, thanks for this insightful article. Can you explain how the length of content impacts SEO?
Igor Gamanenko
Hi Emma, thanks for your comment. The length of content can impact SEO to a certain extent, but it's important to focus on quality over quantity. While there is no fixed ideal content length, it's generally recommended to provide comprehensive and in-depth coverage of a topic. This ensures that your content adequately addresses user queries and provides valuable information. However, avoid creating long content just for the sake of length. The content should be engaging, well-structured, and provide value to the readers. Remember, search engines prioritize relevance and quality rather than content length alone. It's better to create informative and engaging content that addresses user intent and fulfills their needs. If you have any more questions or need further guidance on content length optimization, feel free to ask!

Igor, thanks for sharing your expertise. Can you explain the role of user intent in SEO?
Igor Gamanenko
Hi Kevin, thanks for your question. User intent refers to the purpose or motive behind a user's search query. Understanding user intent is vital for SEO because search engines aim to provide the most relevant results based on user needs. By aligning your website's content with user intent, you can optimize for relevant keywords and provide valuable information or solutions. For example, understanding that a user's intent behind searching for 'best SEO tools' is to find recommendations for SEO software, you can create content that provides a list of top SEO tools, rather than focusing on selling or promoting your own SEO services. Understanding and optimizing for user intent can help improve your website's relevance, engagement, and overall search engine rankings.
