Google has intensified its fight against spam: new Spam Update 2026

In March 2026, Google released another Spam Update aimed at cleaning search results of low-quality content. The update affected websites worldwide and became one of the fastest to implement.

Fighting spam from Google

What has changed and how to act

The main enhancement concerned the operation of the AI algorithm SpamBrain. Now it more effectively identifies:

  • AI-generated ’empty’ content
  • link spam
  • over-optimized pages

Many websites have already faced sharp drops in rankings and traffic. Resources with low value were particularly affected.

To maintain and improve positions, it is important:

  • to create expert and useful content
  • focus on quality, not quantity
  • check the link profile
  • strengthen E-E-A-T (trust and expertise)

SEO in 2026 is no longer about manipulation, but about real value for the user.
