Gary Illyes from Google mentioned on stage on the SERP convention final week that Google has taken steps to fight what a few of us name parasite website positioning in the latest Google algorithm replace. He was quoted as saying, “We now have already executed stuff towards Parasite website positioning; the latest replace is the proof.”
Nikola Minkov posted this on X saying, “Extra from
Gary Illyes, We now have already executed stuff towards Parasite #website positioning; the latest replace is the proof.”

What I consider Gary is referring to, if he was quoted appropriately, is the March 2024 spam replace that already focused scaled content material and expired area abuse and will quickly goal website status abuse, aka parasite website positioning.
Final December, Danny Sullivan mentioned Google took motion on some parasite website positioning and extra was coming. We did see some examples of web sites that did get his by Google’s latest replace however we had been and predict extra to get hit when the location status abuse coverage is enforced.
So I assume we’ll see however Gary is quoted as saying that the final replace did deal with a few of these points with search high quality.
Judith Lewis interviewed Gary Illyes on the SERP Conf this previous Friday.
Discussion board dialogue at X.
