Survey Says Most SEOs Negatively Impacted By A Google Core Update

Marie Haynes posted another Twitter poll asking has your site ever been negatively affected by a Google core update? With 266 votes in, which is not a huge number, it shows that most SEOs have been negatively affected by a Google core update.

If you remove the “other/see results” section, the results break down into:

• 71% – Yes, negatively impacted by a Google core update
• 15% – No, not negatively impacted by a Google core update
• 13% – Maybe negatively impacted by a Google core update

If you take the maybes as a yes, then it is as high as 84% were negatively impacted by a Google core update.

Here is the original poll:

For some history, the last official Google core update was between July 1 and July 12 – we are really due a new Google core update soon. We had many unconfirmed Google updates since but here are the confirmed recent ones:

Here is a graphic that summarizes some of these updates:
