Google’s Danny Sullivan stated that not solely can a wealthy outcome guide motion outcome within the elimination of your wealthy outcomes from displaying in Google Search but additionally it might probably result in a wider “broader spam guide motion that entails rating.”
Only for some historical past, in 2015 John Mueller of Google stated a wealthy outcomes guide motion would solely result in a website’s wealthy outcomes being illegible (eliminated) from displaying in Google Search. He stated it could not lead to a website having a rating decline due to a wealthy outcome guide motion.
So it is a little bit of a change in what the messaging is round this, or is it?
In 2015 John stated “Wealthy snippet themselves don’t offer you rating boosts. So it could’t type of make sense to demote a website in rankings if they’re doing one thing flawed with wealthy snippets. So primarily we simply flip off the wealthy snippets till we’re positive that we will belief them.”
And here’s what Danny Sullivan stated just a few days in the past on Twitter, “It is doable {that a} guide motion involving structured information would possibly merely take away eligibility to have that seem. However it’s doable it could possibly be seen as a broader spam guide motion that entails rating.”
