Fred Update & Ecommerce

[BeckyKey]

Hi

I wondered if there had been any other insights since March about the Fred update or any other Google update?

I don't think we were hit by Fred but in March we dropped out for a lot of keyword rankings, I just cannot pinpoint why.

We are an ecommerce site, so some of our product/category pages don't have a huge amount of written content.

We might have a couple of extra backlinks to disavow, but nothing major.

Does anyone else have any insights?

Thanks!

I don't know of any further updates about Fred other than what is here:

However, over the last week (Mid May) there has been a lot of noise and fluctuation according to many sources.

Let us know if there is anything we can learn by what you find out. Happy to discuss further if you share some details, but it would not be uncommon for Google to decide to push thin eCommerce pages down.
