Google Officially Calls March Broad Core Update “March 2019 Core Update”

As I mentioned in my earlier update, Google representatives have a history of snubbing the names given by the SEOs for their Algorithm Updates. Usually their criticism ends without attributing any names to the update but, it seems like Google is now easing it’s muscles and giving official names to their updates.
The official Google SearchLiaison twitter handle announced on Thursday that Google would like to call the broad core algorithm update of March 12th as “March 2019 Core Update.”
“We understand it can be useful to some for updates to have names. Our name for this update is “March 2019 Core Update.” We think this helps avoid confusion; it tells you the type of update it was and when it happened,” read the tweet posted on the wall of Google SearchLiaison.

However, the initial analysis that we did has some good news for webmasters. The negative impact of the latest update is far less than what we thought. Interestingly, there are more positive results, and the discussion about the same is rife across all major SEO forums.
This makes us believe that the Broad Core Algorithm update on March 12 is more of a rollback of a few previous updates that may have given undue rankings for a few websites. Importantly, we found that sites with high authority once again received a boost in their traffic and rankings.
We also found that websites, which had a rank boost last year by building backlinks through Private Blogging Networks, were hit by March 2019 Core Update, whereas the ones that had high-quality, natural backlinks received a spike. If you’re one of many websites that were affected by the Google March 2019 Core Update, here are a few insights about the damage caused to sites in the health niche.
