If you’re having HCU issues - this is for you. Decoding Google’s Helpful Content System. Unlike reports that have you chasing down things, using tactics that in the end don’t change a thing, this report is the only one with specifically tested data related to HCS which tells you where to dig.
I’m waiting on data from a trusted source who took action on a site with this information. The report told them WHERE to look, it doesn’t speak of TACTICS because of the nature of the HCS.
We’re still in what I think will go down as a significant update to Google’s core algorithm. Until the update and its after shocks are over, data is going to be suspect.
If/when that case does provide proof of the first Helpful Content recovery, because of the value increase of this report and analysis in light of its recovery potential, this is the lowest price it will ever be.
