9/01/2019 Suspected Google Update

Google appears to be updating and a lot of chatter around this topic across the web.

What we have seen:

1. Some areas GMB (maps) only shows (1) page
2. They just implemented new link attributes

   rel="sponsored": The new sponsored attribute can be used to identify links on your site that were created as part of advertisements, sponsorships or other compensation agreements.

   rel="ugc": The ugc the attribute value is recommended for links within user-generated content, such as comments and forum posts.

   rel="nofollow": The nofollow the attribute is for cases where you want to link to a page but doesn’t want to imply any type of endorsement, including passing along ranking credit to another page, Google said.
