707 | News from the EDGE | Week of 8.19.2024

Welcome back to another episode of news from the EDGE! The August 2024 core update has been rolled out! Primary intentions of the update are to reward high quality content and diminish low-value ranking based SEO content.  In light of the August 2024 core update, a ranking bug affecting search results has emerged. Google claims the bug is unrelated to the update and confirms the issue is resolved and search performance should be stabilizing back to normal.  Will the Google empire crumble? The DOJ and U.S government are considering a dismantling of the tech giant due to ongoing antitrust violations. Other penalties Google could potentially face are fines, privacy restrictions, and other financial constraints. Although a complete breakup is unlikely, the potential risk to SEO is monumental.  It's a roller coaster this week folks so strap in and get ready for everything that happened this past week in SEO here on EDGE of the Web!
