It looks like Google is lifting the HCU Classifier?
Saw a couple of threads today on X - some are saying its a recovery - but I think its more like a lift of a throttle - but here are some of threads with people seeing rankings returning. As usual there's a mix of deleting content, "brand" link building, etc - but it doesnt look like a gradual re-evaluation Looks like Google is getting rid of the HCu for now. In other news - Google says a big, brand new change for 2025 will be "original content" - that should be interesting and spark some exciting conversations. The question over HCU - was - is there a net information gain (the name of a Google patent) vs regurgitating the same answer and having thousands of sites with the same content - an issue that will grow with AI content.....
