What was the google spam update?

The Google spam update was a major change to the way Google handles spammy content on the web. This update was first announced in May of 2022, and it was designed to crack down on sites that were flooding the web with low-quality or spammy content. This update had a major impact on the SEO world, and it caused many sites to lose traffic and rankings.
