About This Feed
This feed tracks confirmed changes from Google Search ranking systems, Google Ads policies, Google AdSense program policies, and Core Web Vitals scoring methodology. Every entry is sourced directly from an official Google announcement, developer blog post, or policy page — no speculation or third-party interpretation is included. Each entry carries a publication date so you can cross-reference the original source.
This resource is designed for publishers monitoring AdSense policy compliance, SEO professionals tracking search ranking updates, and developers watching for changes to structured data requirements or technical SEO guidelines. The feed distinguishes between broad algorithm updates, targeted manual actions, policy clarifications, and scoring methodology changes. Entries are categorized by the signals they affect — such as page experience signals, content quality signals, link-based signals, or ad policy signals — so you can quickly identify changes relevant to your site.
All entries are independently verified against official documentation before publication. The archive section preserves entries older than 90 days for historical reference and longitudinal analysis of how Google's documented policies have evolved over time.
Signal Categories
Entries in this feed are tagged by the type of signal or policy they affect. Core Web Vitals entries cover changes to Interaction to Next Paint (INP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) thresholds and measurement methodology. Content quality signals entries cover Helpful Content System updates, E-E-A-T guidance changes, and spam policy revisions. Link signals entries cover changes to how PageRank, anchor text, and link-based signals are weighted or interpreted. Structured data entries cover changes to supported schema types, required fields, and eligibility for rich results in Google Search.
AdSense policy entries cover changes to the Google Publisher Policies that affect site monetization eligibility — including valuable inventory requirements, ad behavior policies, and content restrictions. These entries are particularly relevant for publishers who have received AdSense policy violations or are preparing a site for AdSense review. Policy change dates matter for eligibility appeals — this feed provides the documented dates that can be cited in policy violation responses.
