Let&#8217;s analyze the background.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The Background: &#8220;June 2025 Google Core Update&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Actually, Google rolled out a major <strong>core update<\/strong> starting June 30, 2025 (Reference: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/googlesearchc\/status\/1939694716007977160\">Google Search Central<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/status.search.google.com\/incidents\/riq1AuqETW46NfBCe5NT\">Google Search Status<\/a>). This update rolled out gradually until July 17, causing fluctuations in search rankings across many websites.<\/p>\n<p>The characteristics of this update include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>MUVERA (Multi-Vector Retrieval Algorithm)<\/strong>: Evaluates context from multiple angles to rank pages closer to the search intent higher.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enhanced E-E-A-T<\/strong>: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness are evaluated more strictly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evaluation of User Behavior<\/strong>: Behavioral metrics indicating user satisfaction, such as CTR and dwell time, are given more weight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking at these trends, it is likely that content such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Content based on actual experiences<\/strong>, such as experiments, measurements, and building procedures<\/li>\n<li><strong>Technically well-structured articles (steps, diagrams, code)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Niche genres with low competition (e.g., utilizing WSL2 or FreeCAD)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>was recognized and valued, much like this blog.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Characteristics of Articles That Saw Traffic Growth<\/h2>\n<p>Many of the pages that suddenly rose in rankings starting in July shared the following features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Titles and introductions that pinpointed search intent<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Step-by-step procedural explanations<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Reproducible structures with code examples, command examples, and illustrations<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Inclusion of personal trial and error, results, and precautions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These precisely match the elements targeted for evaluation in this update.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Points to Keep in Mind for Future Content Creation<\/h2>\n<p>To replicate this success, we want to keep the following points in mind for future articles:<\/p>\n<h3>Specifically Anticipate Search Intent<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Clearly define what problem the reader is trying to solve right at the beginning.<\/li>\n<li>Incorporating search terms directly into titles and headings is also effective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Include Firsthand Experience and Trial and Error<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Instead of mere explanations, write about <strong>how you actually succeeded or failed<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>This &#8220;experiential information&#8221; directly connects to E-E-A-T.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Organize Structure (Make Articles Reproducible)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Make content readable by effectively using headings (h2, h3) and bullet points.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t forget commands, code, images, and reference links.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Utilize Content Rewrites<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Articles ranking between 11th and 30th represent a huge opportunity. Refine and enhance their content to target top positions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The doubled traffic in July 2025 is clearly the result of Google&#8217;s search algorithm becoming &#8220;better at finding better content.&#8221; From an operational perspective, rather than relying on accidental success, we aim to achieve stable traffic by continuously providing content that will continue to be valued moving forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entering July 2025, search traffic to our blog (Nando Kobo) suddenly and significantly increased.
