Google’s Broad Core Algorithm Update

Google has confired that there is a Broad Core Algorithm update that happened in early August.  According to Google there is “nothing to fix” on your site and that it just favors sites with better practices.

Here are some insights that may help you:

  • It appears that it is not about site speed or security.
  • There was very large SERP (search engine result pages) volatility. Big changes in ranking for many pages.
  • It seems to favor, in mobile search, where text is above products in product pages. However, in the longer run, click through rates may readjust this.
  • Try not to have too much redundant fluff in the top fold of the page.
  • It appears that product category pages were negatively effected but that individual product pages were positively effected.
  • In mobile, short answers or listed text seem to be favored, but again, text on top seems to win. That said, if text on the top is going to affect your user experience in a negative way, then the boost may be short lived.

Its a little early to know completely but these observations may help you.

Avoiding TCPA Litigation

This quote sums up the situation:

“…the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform released a paper entitled “The Juggernaut of TCPA Litigation: The Problems with Uncapped Statutory Damages.” The paper warned American businesses about the increasing amount of litigation brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)”

From: www.instituteforlegalreform.com/research/tcpa-litigation-sprawl-a-study-of-the-sources-and-targets-of-recent-tcpa-lawsuits

Fact: The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) was signed into law in 1991

From TCPALitigatorList.com :

“The intent of TCPA is to stop unwanted and unsolicited calls and to protect people’s privacy. Unscrupulous attorneys and individuals have abused the regulations to make TCPA litigation a big business. They induce businesses to make multiple phone calls, then sue them for those calls. Because attorney’s fees are not recoverable in TCPA lawsuits, fighting these claims in court can be very expensive, over $10K plus.”
