What are the impacts of SEO updates in 2016?

Many industries come and go every season, but SEO is an industry which is still upgrading and moving forward with more unique things. As we move ahead to 2017, let’s take a short recap of what we learnt from 2016.

As many built their own websites and many stores become virtual, competing in local searches got difficult. Online shoppers and people who surf a lot are very happy and comfortable because they get all the information without moving from their mobile devices or laptops.

2016 gave us new technologies in search engine rankings and algorithm updates. Let’s see what all the major Google algorithm updates were in 2016.

  • Mobile-friendly

  • Penguin 4.0

  • Possum

  • Divided Index

Mobile-friendly algorithm update:

  • Mobile Geddon update was launched in 2015 and all the site owners took a step forward to move their sites to responsive design. Then a mobile-friendly algorithm was updated in 2016 to boost the mobile design but the impact was considerably low than before.

Penguin 4.0 update:

  • The penguin 4.0 update was launched in September, but this time the update devalues the bad links instead of penalizing sites. It can be called as gentle penguin update in 2016 and the sites also saw a recovery.

Possum Update:

  • Seo community people experienced a big shake in local rankings and maps in September 2016, but the Google never confirmed the update.

Divided Index:

  • Google is taking large steps to launch mobile first company. In November google announced its making of mobile version as default for ranking instead of desktop version.

There are few more small updates from Google which created some differences in 2016. In 2017, we can expect more new things in technology. Let’s keep an eye on the things we have lost in 2016 and try to attain best in upcoming year with more positive results.
