Finally, Google announced its latest search algorithm core updates called June 2019 code update. It rolled out slowly from different data centers to the surprise of many site owners and webmasters whose websites may have been hit by this new algo updates. This is the latest Google update in 2019 since March 2019 update.

While it is not exactly clear on what the June 2019 core update specially contained, but since Google updated its search quality rater guidelines recently, so it is being assumed that the recent algorithm update is more related to the quality contents ranking factor.

Google hires Search Quality Raters or human evaluators to rate SERPs and also to check the quality of top rankings websites. Google provides search quality raters guidelines that these raters have to follow while rating search results.

The rating is primarily for Page Quality (PQ) and Needs Met factors. Page quality of the top ranking websites is checked and also to see if the titles/contents are relevant to the searched keywords or even the title is relevant to the content of the page or not. Google informs that the data from these raters are just used as a check to see if the quality websites are being listed or not and also that these raters do not have any influence on website rankings.

Google had done a similar code update back in March which they called March 2019 code update (Florida 2). Last year in 2018 Google made few broad core algorithm updates in the month of April and August (Medic update) with few more updates in the month of September.

This week we released a broad core algorithm update, as we do several times per year. Our guidance about such updates remains the same as in March, as we covered here: https://t.co/uPlEdSLHoX

Google medic update affected mainly medical, health, fitness, related websites and the majority of webmasters are still following the google medic update recovery path. Later it was informed by Google that Medic update was more of a global and broad core algorithm update affecting all websites and not just medical/health-related websites.

With regular such core and small tweaks to the search algorithm, Google is surely moving towards listing only quality websites high on E-A-T parameters. Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-A-T) defines the overall quality of the content and the authoritativeness of the author. Google now, more than ever before, is focused on accessing the authoritativeness of the Author to attach value to the content they write so as to rank only content with authority authors.
