Episode #136 – Will Your Site Be Affected By Google’s New Link Spam Update?


Google rolled out a new link spam update to their SEO algorithm on Jul 27, 2021. Will this new update affect your site’s rankings?

If you were involved in manipulating Google’s algorithm by using spammy “hacks,” then your results might suffer. And even if you weren’t manipulating Google, your site still could be affected.

In this episode, I reveal what Google’s new update is, how it will affect your site’s rankings, and what you can do to attract new leads and clients on Google after this update.
