The term “update” comes from the English word “update”, which means “update”. When this word is applied to a search engine, it means updating the content of the results.

In this article we will talk about the types of Yandex updates. You will learn what updates occur periodically in this search engine and will be able to better understand how Yandex indexes the site. In addition, we will tell you how often this happens, which will allow us to predict changes in search results.

This is the most frequent update of Yandex, which is performed on average once a week. It updates the text content of search results.

Thus, if any changes were made to the text of the page, for example, meta tags were added to the snippet, then it is the text update of the search engine that will enter these innovations into the Yandex database. Also, after a text update, you can wait for the appearance of new pages in search results that were published recently.

Beginners are often disappointed when making changes to the text of pages and not seeing these innovations in search results. However, as has already become clear, you just need to wait for the text update.

Link update

Link updates occur less frequently than text updates. On average, practice shows that this happens 1-2 times a month.

With this recalculation, Yandex updates the anchor lists. Thus, if an external link was placed on the site, then you can see it in the webmaster’s account only after the link update. Of course, the link update may also change.

Practice also shows that updates for external and internal links can occur at different times. But their frequency is approximately the same.

Behavioral factors update

The types of Yandex updates continue to be those that recalculate . In total, the search engine has two PF updates – micro and macro:

• Micro – Occurs frequently and recalculates small statistics.
• Macro - occurs approximately once every six months, and recalculates all static data that relates to behavioral factors. After this recalculation, the ranking may change significantly.

Recalculation of behavioral factors will allow you to understand how much it was improved if it was optimized. It is the macro update that will give the maximum understanding of this.

Statistical data update

First of all, this is a change in the TIC, which everyone is waiting for (or rather, waiting for). Yandex has not changed the TIC for a long time, and, probably, this indicator will soon be removed from the search engine and will no longer be taken into account.

In addition to the TIC, other data is updated with this recalculation, such as HostRank, BrowseRank and TIC. To recalculate all this data, Yandex requires significant resources and time, since it takes into account a large number of statistics. Therefore, statistical updates occur rarely - on average, once every six months.

Classification update

Yandex classifies sites according to various parameters. And this data is updated during the classification update.

So, the search engine takes into account the following classification parameters:

• Geography.
• Language affiliation.
• Topics – news, information, commercial, adult, etc.
• And much more.

Updates occur on average once every 1-2 months.

Thus, if the site’s region has changed (or another indicator that is classified by Yandex), then it will take 1-2 months to wait for changes in the search.

Filter updates

They are waiting for millions of webmasters who, with their sites, fell under certain filters. The frequency is different for each filter and can vary significantly, up to six months.

Thus, if Yandex imposed automatic sanctions for something, then updating the filters will remove them (if, of course, the reasons for imposing the filter are eliminated). However, sometimes you don’t have to wait for this, and it makes sense to write to Yandex Webmaster support with a request to manually remove the sanctions. In some situations this helps.

Other updates

Yandex is a huge machine, and its updates are not limited to those described above. However, they are the most important for traffic and long-awaited by webmasters.

There are other updates that are one way or another expected:

• Search by images.
• Icon (favicon).
• Unsticking and gluing mirrors.
• Indexing video content.
• Indexing comments to articles.
• Validity of page code.
• Mobile services.
• Yandex Direct, if advertising is used.
• And many others.

So, now you know what types of Yandex updates there are. It should be noted that all changes on the site are taken into account by the search engine, but this takes some time.

Among optimizers, you can often hear such expressions as “update” or “Yandex/Google AP”. But not all beginners are familiar with this concept. And if you are just starting to get acquainted with search engine optimization, then it is worth learning a little about the terminology of this area of ​​​​business. So what are search engine updates and what are they?

The word “update” comes from Up to date (from English - “relevant for today’s date”, “keeping up with the times”), and the verb to update is translated exactly as “update to the most current state”. From an SEO point of view, an update is an update of data in search engine databases, which entails a change in the positions of sites in search results.

If the web resource has improved its position after the work, then the result of the promotion is positive. If the site’s position has decreased, then the result is negative, which means that the promotion strategy should be reconsidered and unused growth points should be worked out.

How often do Yandex and Google updates happen? The Google search database updates quite often - every day, or even more often. Yandex updates are eagerly awaited by all optimizers, as they happen less frequently, and this is a real event. There is no clear calendar of search engine updates, you can only predict their certain frequency.

Monitoring Yandex and Google updates

It is easier to monitor changes using specialized services. Each of the tools has its own approach to determining updates (the sum of the difference in values, the similarity of content according to the Oliver algorithm, the Levenshtein algorithm, pairwise comparison of array elements), which makes their analytics complementary.

All update analyzers also operate with the concept of “degree of change in output”, or “storm”. The storm refers to the degree of change in search results as a percentage, i.e. which documents and sites appeared in the top positions for certain queries, and which disappeared or moved lower. By how much the search results have changed, one can judge the emergence of a new algorithm for ranking information in search engines. Usually the so-called storm is measured in values ​​from 10 to 40%. Anything less is a weak update. And if the changes are more than 40%, most likely, a new algorithm could not have happened without the appearance of a new algorithm.

At the same time, there is another option that allows you to find out whether Yandex has had an update. This is the Yandex.Webmaster panel. Go to the settings of this service, configure the desired item (“Search database update”), and you will be aware of the updates.

Example letter:

Types of updates: list of the most significant changes in search results

Let's start with the first part:

Why analyze updates?

Webmasters regularly monitor search engine updates, analyze the consequences and effectiveness of the chosen strategy, and adjust it if necessary. It is necessary to analyze the update, because in fact this is the only source of operational information that helps make correct decisions. For example, you purchased links using one strategy, but after the update the positions dropped or the site fell under the search engine filter. In this case, it is necessary to reconsider link tactics. Or you decided to adjust the content on the promoted pages; after the text update, the positions on the pages with new content dropped, and on the pages whose content was saved, on the contrary, they increased. This means that it is necessary to reconsider the format of the texts.

Thanks to the analysis of updates, you can identify promotion errors, select the optimal strategy, and subsequently attract truly interested visitors to your website.

We wish you only good updates and effective strategies!

There is probably no need to say that the official website itself and the search service called “Yandex” are known, if not by everyone, then at least by those users who regularly search for something on the Internet. But few people have any idea what the update of the Yandex search database is. Let's see what this is all about and why use such updates in practice.

Why and who needs to update the Yandex search database

I would like to immediately warn all users: if you are not the owner of the site or hosting, the information provided below will not be useful to you in practice. And that's why.

The point here is that updating the search, in the sense of its algorithms, affects only the functionality of the site itself. In other words, the creator himself should be interested in this, and only with the goal that his page is included in the top five or ten search results requested by users of the system itself.

To put it simply, updating the Yandex search database only helps ensure that your resource ends up on the first page as a result of a search. Statistics show that very few users go to the second or third page to read this or that article. Most often, they stop at the first one and click on the most popular links at the top of the list.

Updating the Yandex search database: how often does this happen?

As for the updates themselves, in principle, everything depends on the developer, and it is simply impossible to predict the release of a new update. Of course, the system will inform the owner of the same hosting that the Yandex search database has currently been updated, but nothing more.

Alas, we can only guess about the rest. In this sense, many users who host their pages under the patronage of Yandex (even using electronic wallets) do not like this service. The factor of unpredictability is rather at play here, because the very update of the Yandex search database can play a cruel joke on the hosting owner. The situation here is such that after the update, any site paid for search may completely disappear from the proposed results. This is, excuse me, the crooked hands of the developers themselves. However, it's not all bad. Let's look at the update issue itself a little more broadly.

Main types of updates

For now, let’s leave aside the question related to how often the Yandex search engine is updated, and let’s look at exactly how it happens, so that there are no, so to speak, omissions in this problem.

As it turns out, among all the variety that is offered by the service department, the most popular ones can initially be identified:

• text update (the update includes new text documents on a given topic);
• updates based on links (when a site appears in a search result based on a given address or criterion);
• ranking, which is negatively perceived by SEO experts, since a ban can be introduced for using so-called behavioral factors;
• favicon is not discussed at all - those who installed it won’t do anything good with the update;
• traffic service update using graphic materials;
• updating Russian-language queries;
• updating the database of thematic queries;
• popularity index Rank.

Is everything taken into account?

In connection with all of the above, we can draw a conclusion about how the frequency of updating the Yandex search engine affects everything else.

In this case, we mean registering pages that fall under some criterion. As it turns out, the most important problem with a search engine, for example, when updating text or links, is that it does not immediately accept the incoming request, as expected, but only generates it for publication during the next update. And the dates for updating the Yandex search database are, as a rule, unknown to anyone except their creators. So we get a situation where no one sees new pages in the sense of links or text information published on them. But that's not all. The fact is that the frequency of updating the Yandex search database also raises legitimate doubts.

Let's try to compare two popular search engines created, as they say, in the image and likeness. These are Yandex and Google. It's no secret that the first was developed on the basis of the second.

Here the most important difference and the main problem is the so-called ranking. If Google’s service is capable of accepting a new link, text or graphic document almost instantly, Yandex requires a fairly long period of time for this (usually thirty days, no less, and then before the next update is released). So it turns out that the owner of the resource or hosting cannot count on the fact that his page will be among the most popular queries tomorrow.

The concept of "storm"

Now let's look at another concept called “storm”. This term refers to the extent to which queries are issued during the update period itself.

It is believed that:

• 5-15% - weak site;
• 15-20% - average level;
• 20-40% - a reliable resource;
• over 40% - updating the algorithms puts the resource at the peak of popularity.

In general, if it is “stormy”, this means that the service itself is in the process of updating, registering incoming requests and redirecting them to the search engine level. As is already clear, this does not always work, or even does not work at all.

Update dates

As for the update itself, no one knows when the next update of the Yandex search database will be, perhaps even the developers themselves. Surprisingly, the frequency of updates does not fit into any framework.

This is the only reason why website owners and hosting providers should switch to other registration resources, otherwise, what good, you can slide from a leader in the search to the lowest position. How often does the Yandex search database update? Perhaps it is better to ask the owners or developers of the service themselves about this.

And all this is only because the update does not work correctly or is missing altogether. But problems may lie in the settings themselves, which for obvious reasons are not being considered now.

Conclusion

As for the outcome, you can simply shrug your shoulders: as we see, although the service is one of the most popular, it is nevertheless, alas, incompetent in terms of installing updates to its own database. So there is no need to talk about the fact that a user who decides to find some information on the Internet or promote his own website will receive the most up-to-date information. This is where updating the Yandex search database comes into play. How often this happens or should happen is unknown, because everything depends on the developer.

On the other hand, in fact, the search service itself, based on “Google” technologies, in comparison with the original, does not stand up to any criticism. Another thing is that both services are quite insidious in terms of spying on the Internet surfer. Have you ever seen your last request appear in your browser as an advertising link? What can I say, even if you have an “account” for both services, the same banners can appear on a mobile phone or tablet. But this is a great distraction, to say the least...

Finally, the resource owners themselves in this case are exposed to unreasonable risk. It's no secret that you have to pay for everything. So that your page becomes popular on the Internet - too. A lot of money. What a surprise when, after entering a search term, you don’t even find your own resource? This is where the time comes to think about how appropriate it was to use Yandex as the main hosting. However, this situation does not always manifest itself: for some everything works, for others it doesn’t. It's a matter of everyday life, as they say.

But in any case (many users of the service say this, by the way), if the company does not change its update policy, you can hardly count on attracting new customers. You wouldn’t lose your old ones here...

Hello everyone, friends!
Since I have time, I started writing almost every day. And in today’s article you will learn about what an update is, what types of updates there are and where you can view them. If you are a beginner and have just recently created your first website, then this article will be useful for you to read.

Update– This is an update of the search engine database. An update is also called an up or in English update. There are several types of updates:

• Text update;
• Link update;
• Update Titz;
• PR update;
• Yandex.Catalog update;
• Update of behavioral factors;
• Update of the image search database;
• Mirrorer update;
• Favicons update;
• Search algorithm update.

Text update- all internal changes that were found by a search robot on the Internet are taken into account.

For example, you wrote a new article on your website for a specific search query. A robot can visit your resource at any time and index a new post, but the site’s position for this request will not immediately change. They can only change after a text update. That is, such an update takes into account all the changes that you made within the site. Text update exists only for Yandex. As for Google, updates happen there very often and no one even tracks them.

Link update– it’s easy to guess that links are being updated: smile:. For example, you decide to buy several links to your resource. Don’t think that your site’s rankings will skyrocket the next day. No. They can only change after a link update. Many beginners do not understand this and check their positions every day. In order for the link to start working, at least a month must pass.

Update Titz– when updating, the Yandex search system takes into account all external links. Based on their quantity and quality, the site is assigned a thematic citation index.

Titz update occurs approximately every two months. I’ll write where to watch it a little later. By the way, you can read two articles that I wrote earlier: “?” And " ?" Today there was just an update from Titz and my blog received the first ten: smile:.

PR update. Here, approximately everything is the same as in the previous cases, only Tits is assigned by Yandex and the entire site, and PR by Google and each page separately.

In general, PR is a rather strange indicator and I don’t pay attention to it when buying links. Firstly, it is updated very rarely (about once every six months), and secondly, this indicator is somehow unfairly assigned. For young sites, after the first up, PR can shoot 4, but for authoritative resources with a decent link mass, it will remain 0.

Yandex Catalog update. There is a Catalog where, according to Yandex, the highest quality Runet resources are present. You can get there either for free (but very difficult) or for a fee of 15,000 rubles.

The catalog is updated very often, on average once every two days. It’s not hard to guess that during an update, some sites end up in this directory, while others drop out. I don't understand why it needs to be updated so often? It would be better if Titz was updated at least once a week: smile:.

Update of behavioral factors.– this is how the user behaves on the blog. These include in the search results, the number of pages viewed, time spent on the site, etc. If, for example, behavioral factors improve on your resource, then you can notice an increase in positions only after the update.

Updating the image search database. The fact is that search engines have a special robot that is responsible for indexing images. Therefore, the results based on pictures change only after a special app. In order to find out which images of your resource have already been indexed by search engines, just enter the following address in the image search:
site:site
It works for both Yandex and Google.

Mirrorer update. Each resource must have a main site mirror with or without www. It can be specified in the robots.txt file, in webmaster panels and using 301 redirects. By the way, the last method is the most reliable. So, there is a special robot that is responsible for the main mirror. And even if you change the main mirror of your resource, gluing will occur only after update.

So, even if you make a favicon for your resource, it will appear in Yandex results only after update.

Search algorithm update. Sometimes it happens that search engines make changes to their algorithms. For example, they can add or remove some ranking factor, or they can simply weaken its influence on the search results. After updating the algorithms, as a rule, the output changes significantly. Thus, some resources sag to the bottom, while others, on the contrary, shoot up. If your site has seen a sharp drop or increase in traffic from any search engine, then it is quite possible that the algorithms have changed.

I think it’s clear what an update is and what they are, let’s move on to the next question.

Where to track update

The website tools.promosite.ru provides information on ups, you can even look at updates of behavioral factors, which I did not see on previous resources.

If your blog is added to Yandex Webmaster, then you can specify in the settings so that you receive a message by email after ups:

That's all! Now you know what a Yandex update is and how to check it. Good luck, friends!

I’ll show you where to find the correct Yandex updates by number and time. I check article positions after 2-3 ups. Search results are not updated consistently, so you need to know when.

Methods
