Other Google Updates
EMD (Exact Match Domain): First launch Sep 2012
a “small” algorithm change that will “reduce low-quality ‘exact-match’
domains” from showing up so highly in the search results. Exact match
domains mean domains that match exactly for the search query. For example,
if I sold blue widgets and owned the domain name www.bluewidgets.com,
that would be an exact match domain.
Site-Diversity Update: First launch June 2019
Google will aim to show no more than two results from the same domain for
a particular query in the top results.
Featured Snippet De-Duping: First launch Jan 2020
Google announced that URLs in Featured Snippets would no longer be
appearing as traditional organic results.
