It targeted obvious violations like scaled content and expired domain abuse.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">Now that those sites are out of the way, the Core Update is doing the heavy lifting.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">It\u2019s looking at <b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"101\">EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness)<\/b> more closely.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">If your site provides real-world examples and deep industry know-how\u2014rather than just summarizing what\u2019s already on the SERP\u2014you are in a strong position.<\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"8\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-this-means-for-seos\"><\/span><b data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">What This Means for SEOs<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol start=\"1\" data-path-to-node=\"9\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Expect Volatility:<\/b> Because this is a core update, rankings will shift frequently over the next 14 days.
