The underlying technical logic behind the 2024 algorithm update

Google released three core algorithm updates in succession in the first quarter of 2024. Its technical architecture has three major features: First, the comprehensive application of the neural network model PaLM2 has improved the semantic understanding ability by 300%, and can accurately identify the characteristic patterns of AI-generated content; second, the EEAT (Experience-Expertise-Authority-Credibility) evaluation system added an "entity relevance" dimension, requiring content creators to prove deep association with industry entities; finally, multimodal search increases the weight coefficient of images and videos from 0.3 to 0.45, which means that independent sites must build a multimedia content matrix.

According to Yiyingbao's monitoring data, the new algorithm caused a traffic decline for approximately 38% of pure tool-based SaaS websites. However, sites that used traffic packages for global acceleration and whose content met EEAT standards saw an average CTR increase of 22%. This demonstrates the necessity of synergistically optimizing technical infrastructure and content quality.

The impact of core changes on independent sites

• The threshold for content production has increased : AI-assisted writing must label the source and creation process, otherwise the risk of being judged as "low-value content" increases by 47%.
• Technical SEO weight redistribution : The baseline page loading speed was compressed from 3 seconds to 2.2 seconds, and the core keyword ranking of sites using CDN acceleration increased by an average of 8 places
• Cross-platform data correlation : Interaction data between social media accounts (especially LinkedIn professional content) and independent websites will be included in the ranking factors

7 Trends Businesses Must Address

Risk Control of AI Content

While Google has stated that it does not reject AI-generated content, it will devalue content if it detects the following characteristics: repetitive paragraphs exceeding 15%, a lack of original case analysis, and undisclosed use of AI tools. It is recommended to use website traffic packages in conjunction with a manual review process to ensure that content meets EEAT standards while enabling global access at lightning speeds.

A practical upgrade plan for technical SEO

Yiyingbao's intelligent website building system has undergone three key upgrades to adapt to the new algorithm: First, a pre-trained model automatically generates author bios that comply with EEAT standards; second, built-in multilingual video transcription converts video content into SEO-friendly text; and finally, intelligent global CDN node scheduling ensures that content loads within 2 seconds regardless of region. After implementing this solution, a cross-border e-commerce client saw its ranking for the core keyword "B2B procurement platform" jump from page 4 to page 1.

Structured Data Deployment Guide

1. Adding HowTo structured data to product pages increased the display rate of rich media snippets by 160%
2. Add Dataset tags to industry reports to obtain knowledge graph entry qualifications
3. Use BreadcrumbList to optimize the internal link weight transfer path

A Paradigm Shift in Content Strategy

Traditional keyword stuffing strategies are no longer effective. High-quality content in 2024 must offer in-depth problem-solving (covering at least three levels of user inquiry), a cross-media evidence chain (citing authoritative reports or customer cases), and a dynamic update mechanism (refreshing data at least quarterly). For example, under the topic "Facebook Advertising Tips," the top three pages contain an average of five real-world screenshots, three A/B testing comparisons, and two references to third-party data sources.

Question-and-answer content structure

Google increasingly favors a "problem-solution-verification" content structure. We recommend including a FAQ section on every product page, employing a combination of "long-tail questions + video answers + data visualization." One SaaS company used this approach to extend page dwell time to 4 minutes and 32 seconds, far exceeding the industry average of 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
