I'm finally digging into the Google Algo Leak and, WOW, there's a lot there.
I've long said that a domain's history and age was important. And lo and behold, it is.
I also assert that certain TLDs are suppressed - especially .biz and .xyz, but no evidence for this... yet!
Finally! It's definitely been a turbulent rollout and it's taken much longer than expected.
Lots of opinions on twitter about the impact but I'd have to say that from what I'm seeing, few sites were impacted unfairly.

Just got told off by a @BrightonHoveBus driver for running for the bus and making it before he shut the rear doors but he did close the front in my face then think better of it... I mean... I do pay for the service of transportation, nobody was doing anyone any favours here...

Just received this text message from my GP....
Does anyone know what it is about male urinary tract infections that make them 'not minor' when compared to women's? π€
@TerribleMaps Truly terrible. A map showing countries with maternity leave that you can actually survive on would be much more interesting. UK *technically* offers 39 weeks, but only 6 of those are at 90% of pay. The rest is half of the average mortgage or rent people have to pay.
Is your mortgage deal coming to an end in the next 6 months? If yes, now is the time to talk about your options. Give me a call or send me a message on here. I'll be happy to help. My contact details are in my bio.
I think it's very clear that the August HCU update did not go to plan.... I personally think that's what the onslaught of updates since has been about - rectifying the rollout. Though I agree, I don't think they've rolled back. Yet.
When Googlers like @JohnMu and @dannysullivan delete posts on X (Twitter) it makes you wonder why... here is partially why - but does it mean the Helpful content update was rolled back??? https://t.co/6ux4pf2cSQ
Google: we want more content on single pages.
Also Google: we only want video content where it is the only content on the page.
Also Google: we own YouTube
I'm not saying there's a connection... I'm just saying.
Starting today, weβre rolling out an update to our results in Video mode to only show pages where the video is the main content of the page, to better connect users with the video content they're looking for. We will also be adding a new reason in Search Console to better explain why videos aren't indexed. More in: https://t.co/KEBSifkgnU
