You’re probably already aware that affiliate blogs recently got a smackdown from Google with their March Core Update. Here’s a good post explaining all the changes and how they are impacting affiliate bloggers, niche blogs and digital marketers. Google also posted an FAQ page helping you self-assess your content to see if it’s helpful.
Here are some YouTube videos unpacking the changes and what bloggers, writers and SEO experts might do to regain our traffic to our websites.
