Impact of Google's Algorithm Update on Forums
The recent core algorithm update from Google is causing significant changes in the visibility of niche forums, with early indicators showing a decline in SEO performance for many of these sites. Notably, a forum dedicated to a specific dog breed, which initially saw a surge in traffic after Google began prioritizing forums, has now experienced a substantial drop in visibility. This trend appears to reverse the previous success story where forums were a recommended strategy for SEO, as they often featured user-generated content that ranked well. As Google's algorithms evolve, reliance on forums as a primary source of traffic may become less effective, prompting SEOs to rethink their strategies.
