Have you ever discussed with an SEO Consultant or Executive, and they have said something along the lines of "yeah, I think there may be a Google Update coming soon...".
If you have, and you questioned why it's rare, we as SEO's will give an answer. The reasons aren't just that, as techie's we tend to be introverted, but also that it's kind of a secret sauce - we have a few resources we go to that track a number of things that can often tell us how likely an Algorithm Update is (or isn't). Of course, that comes on top of the time factor - how long its been since the last BIG search update in any given niche/market.
So today, given The SEO Podcast is all about sharing resources to enable you to understand how search works, and to do more - I am going to share some of these resources (though not all I admit), as well as several resources for you to find out what those updates actually mean for you - and if you were affected how to fix those issues.
