A possible Google search ranking algorithm update has been reported
Anything can stop in this world, by the world, I mean the digital world. But one thing that can never stop is Google update. Yes, it is true. Every year, Google makes thousands of updates to search, apps, algorithms, or software. However, one of the major updates from Google is a search ranking algorithm update that Google tends to make every month of the year. Google has a long history of famous algorithm updates, search index changes, and refreshes. If I take an example of the present month (on 10, June), people from the SEO field were talking about the changes they saw in search ranking but there was no confirmation about any Google update.
Likewise, recently, a new Google search algorithm update is also reported by marketers/SEOs. Don’t you want to know what the update is all about? If yes, keep reading the article below.

What people are talking about the Google search algorithm update?
Since 10 June, there has been a lot of chatter going on about the Google search ranking algorithm update in the Webmaster World. However, Google has not confirmed anything but there are some signs of a Google search update. Nevertheless, a lot of people are talking about Google Discover traffic changes. Now, Google Discover can change a lot and might send you a ton of traffic or no traffic at all. It is very uncomfortable and often does work with Google’s core updates and other updates. So it is obvious then if there is any Google update, confirmed or unconfirmed, then the big changes to your Google Discover can happen anytime.

- Something strange is going on with the Discover algorithm for sure.
- My discover traffic dropped this week too. From 5 digits to 3 digits a day.
- Like a switch, our site is now showing up in Google Discover again by the looks of it and back to normal traffic level.
Divyanka from TechThinkers tweeted on 21st June that a lot of people are reporting a severe drop in Discover traffic since around June 10. This appears to be a bug at Google’s end and it would be great if you can reach out to them and write about it. This tweet was for Rustybrick Barry.
