This morning at 1:48 am ET, Google confirmed a Google Search rating bug impacting a lot of the Google Search outcomes. Google wrote, “There’s an ongoing situation with rating in Google Search that is affecting a lot of search outcomes.”
Google mentioned they discovered the basis trigger and mentioned the difficulty is totally unrelated to the August 2024 core replace. “We have recognized the basis trigger and this situation is unrelated to the continued core replace rollout.” Google wrote.
John Mueller from Google added on LinkedIn, “Generally we have now points in our programs (like everybody), and we need to be clear about them for customers & site-owners. This situation is unrelated to the core replace that is at present rolling out.”
So why once more does this occur after a Google search rating replace? John wrote, “Sadly you may’t decide the timing of points, sorry. We’ll replace on the search standing dashboard as issues evolve – each for this situation, in addition to for the roll-out of the core replace.”
John additionally added within the feedback space on LinkedIn, “We attempt to publish about them as soon as they’re recognized to be a visual situation. Because it’s unrelated, even when this have been recognized & posted beforehand, I do not know if it will affect the choice to roll out the core replace (much less confusion is clearly higher for roll-outs, however, simply as an unrelated instance, if the search outcomes have been by chance coloured inexperienced, that would not have an effect on how a change about how titles are made is rolled out).”
Perhaps all of the rating fluctuations and volatility we posted about yesterday was this bug and never the August 2024 core replace?
The final bug we noticed was a Google Search indexing bug in June proper after the June spam update was launched.
So I assume any rating modifications you’re seeing now, disregard till that is fastened.
