Report: 22% Of Sites Hit By Google’s Helpful Content Update Are Up 20%+

I’ve been wondering how the majority of sites hit by Google’s September 2023 helpful content update are doing. Glenn Gabe is tracking about 400 of them, so he provided an update saying 88 (or 22% of them) have seen a 20% increase since the August 2024 core update. Some had full recoveries but most did not, and most saw no lifts at all.
