Listen Later

Dawn Anderson joins Erin Sparks to discuss the history of Google updates and the pursuit of “cleaning” up the web. Dawn shows her expertise and knowledge in the science of SEO. She gives context to the timeline of updates in light of the new Google Helpful Content update just released. We discuss the continued goals of spam removal and increasingly helpful content promotion in search. Listen as we unpack Natural Language Processing, BERT, E.A.T., and all of the signals that Quality Raters Guidelines mark as trustworthy.
