Marie Haynes posted another Twitter poll asking has your site ever been negatively affected by a Google core update? With 266 votes in, which is not a huge number, it shows that most SEOs have been negatively affected by a Google core update.
If you remove the “other/see results” section, the results break down into:
- 71% – Yes, negatively impacted by a Google core update
- 15% – No, not negatively impacted by a Google core update
If you take the maybes as a yes, then it is as high as 84% were negatively impacted by a Google core update.
Here is the original poll:
