  • Who benefited from the update?

The industry has already established the practice of naming winners and losers after major Google updates. However, usually, these conclusions cover a very small period of time and are not representative enough, Meyers noted.

“Whenever we compare two fixed points in time, we ignore the natural volatility in ranking and the differences between keywords.”

Therefore, in his last analysis, Meyers decided to minimize these shortcomings to zero and focused on the winners.

Initially, he compiled a list that took into account only the data for the first day of launch – as is customary in the industry:

The final list takes into account the data for the 1st and 2nd day, as well as 7 days before and after the update, is launched:

It is noteworthy that some of the sites from the first list remained in the second. It also has new resources, including those sites that lost their visibility on the first day, but significantly improved their positions in the analysis of a larger amount of data.
