Algorithm là gì? Thuật toán Google là gì?
Algorithm là gì? Đây là tên viết tắt của Google Algorithm (Thuật toán Google): Một hệ thống phức tạp được sử dụng để truy xuất dữ liệu từ chỉ mục tìm kiếm và ngay lập tức cung cấp những kết quả phù hợp nhất cho một truy vấn. Công cụ tìm kiếm này sử dụng một sự kết hợp của các thuật toán và nhiều yếu tố xếp hạng khác nhau để cung cấp các trang web được xếp hạng theo mức độ liên quan trên các trang kết quả tìm kiếm của nó (SERP).
Trong những năm đầu, Google chỉ thực hiện một số cập nhật nhỏ cho các thuật toán của mình. Nhưng hiện nay, Google thực hiện hàng nghìn thay đổi hàng năm.
Các cập nhật này đa số là những thay đổi nhỏ đến mức hoàn toàn không được nhận thấy. Tuy nhiên, đôi khi, công cụ tìm kiếm triển khai các cập nhật thuật toán lớn có tác động đáng kể đến SERP (Search Engine Results Page, trang hiển thị kết quả tìm kiếm).

Đây là bản danh sách những lần Thuật Toán được Google Update (và được coi là bản cập nhật quan trọng) được sắp xếp theo các năm:
Năm 2003
16/11/2003
- Florida Update (Google Florida): Đây là bản cập nhật đánh dấu một kỷ nguyên mới của SEO. Các website (bao gồm các nhà bán lẻ sống dựa vào affliates để tăng traffic) sử dụng các thủ thuật spam từ các thập kỷ trước (ví dụ như nhồi từ khoá – keyword stuffing, sử dụng nhiều website chung thương hiệu, làm chữ vô hình – invisible text và link ẩn – hidden links) để đạt xếp hạng cao cho những từ khoá HOT về thương mại (high-commercial keywords) đã chứng kiến thứ hạng của họ bị xoá sạch ngay trước mùa mua sắm cuối năm.

Năm 2009
18/01/2009
- Vince Update: Google’s Vince update was a quick, noticeable change in broad-level, competitive keyword terms to favor first page rankings for big brand domains vs. previously ranking sites (typically less authoritative sites, affiliate sites, and sites that had won this coveted visibility purely through SEO efforts).
10/08/2009
- Caffeine Update: Google’s Caffeine update was a new web indexing system that allowed Google to crawl and store data more efficiently, resulting in 50 percent fresher results. Developers were given early access starting in August 2009 before the update officially rolled out June 8, 2010.
Năm 2010

Instead, however, Panda data refreshes started rolling out monthly over a 10-day period, without any further confirmation from Google.
22/05/2013
- Penguin Update 2.0: This was a “next generation” of the Penguin algorithm, as Google’s Matt Cutts explained in a blog post. This version looked deeper than the website homepage and top-level category pages for evidence of link spam being directed to the website. Penguin 2.0 impacted around 2.3 percent of English queries.
11/06/2013
- Payday Loan Update: Google Payday Loans algorithm update targeted spammy queries mostly associated with shady industries (including super high interest loans and payday loans, porn, casinos, debt consolidation, and pharmaceuticals). It took about 1-2 months to fully rollout and impacted about 0.3 percent of U.S. queries.
26/09/2013
- Hummingbird Update: The Hummingbird update was a major overhaul to Google’s core search technology. Google needed a way to better understand and return the most relevant results to more complex queries as a result of the growth of conversational search (i.e., voice search).

23/09/2014

17/10/2014
- Penguin Update 3.0: Though named like a major update, this was actually another data refresh of Google’s Penguin algorithm. Penguin 3.0 allowed those impacted by previous updates to emerge and recover, while many others who had continued to utilize spammy link practices, and had escaped the radar of the previous updates, saw an impact. The update took about three days to fully rollout and impacted less than 1 percent of English search queries.
Năm 2015
21/04/2015

03/05/2015

17/07/2015
- Panda Update 4.2 (#28): Google announced a Panda refresh that would take months to roll out and impact 2 to 3 percent of English queries. Due to the slow nature of the rollout, it’s unclear how substantial the impact was or precisely when it occurred. It was the final confirmed Panda update.
26/10/2015
- RankBrain: Though it had been in testing since April 2015, Google officially introduced RankBrain on this date. RankBrain is a machine learning algorithm that filters search results to help give users a best answer to their query. Initially, RankBrain was used for about 15 percent of queries (mainly new queries Google had never seen before), but now it is involved in almost every query entered into Google. RankBrain has been called the third most important ranking signal.
Năm 2016
16/01/2016
- Panda Core Algorithm Incorporation: Google confirmed that Panda had been incorporated into the core Google algorithm, evidently as part of the slow Panda 4.2 rollout. In other words, Panda was no longer a filter applied to the Google algorithm after it does its work, but is incorporated as another of its core ranking signals. It has been clarified, however, that this doesn’t mean the Panda classifier acts in real time.
12/05/2016
- Mobile-Friendly Update (#2): The second Mobile-Friendly Update (or “Mobilegeddon 2”) was an update to Google’s first mobile-friendly update, meant to “increases the effect of the ranking signal.”

23/09/2016
- Penguin Update 4.0 & Core Algorithm Integration: The final update to the Penguin algorithm saw it integrated into Google’s core algorithm, meaning Penguin was now evaluating websites and links in real-time. Another big change was Penguin devalued links, rather than downgrading the rankings of pages.
10/11/2016
- Unnamed Update: Search industry chatter and data from SEO tracking tools indicated some sort of unconfirmed Google update happened on November 10.
Năm 2017

01/02/2017
- February 1 Update: This was a minor and unconfirmed Google update. Although all information about this update is more speculation than fact, it seemed to target private blog networks or those doing spammy link building.
07/02/2017
- February 7 Update: This unconfirmed major update resulted in massive rankings shifts in Google’s SERPs, which also meant major increases or decreases for some websites. Overall, it seems higher-quality and more relevant websites gained the most visibility.
07/03/2017
- Fred: Google’s Gary Illyes jokingly referred to this update as “Fred” and the name ended up sticking. But this algorithm was no laughing matter for those impacted. This major algorithm update seemed to mainly target low-value content. On March 24, Illyes officially confirmed the update. But Google has refused to share any more specifics, instead choosing to say that all the answers about Fred can be found in Google’s Webmaster Quality Guidelines.
17/05/2017
- Quality Update: Starting May 17 and lasting for about a week, SEO tracking tools reported lots of SERP volatility. While the impact seems limited, those sites impacted by this update tended to have issues with aggressive/deceptive advertising, UX issues, and thin/low-quality content.
25/06/2017
- June 25 Update: Various SEO tracking tools detected a significant, though unconfirmed, Google update on this date. One analysis found that this update caused the biggest fluctuations for pages ranking in Positions 6-10. While it impacted most niches, the good and beverage industry was reportedly impacted the most.
09/07/2017
- Quality Update: SEO ranking tools detected some minor volatility on July 9, potentially another (unconfirmed) Google quality update.
19/08/2017
- Quality Update: Webmasters and SEO ranking tools detected some minor volatility on August 19-20, with signs indicating this may have been another (unconfirmed) Google quality update. Among the ranking casualties: category pages, pages with aggressive advertising, lower-quality/thin content, and other negative user experience elements, according to an analysis by Glenn Gabe, president of GSQi. There was some speculation that Google began testing this algorithm on August 14 because pages that were impacted (either positively or negatively) on this date were further impacted on August 19.
08/09/2017
- Fall Flux: Industry chatter and SEO tracking tools indicated some sort of (still unconfirmed) Google update may have occurred on this date. Glenn Gabe, president of G-Squared Interactive, also detected several noteworthy Google changes impacting traffic and search visibility starting September 8. This was followed by additional volatility and fluctuations on September 18, 25, and 29, as well as October 4, 8, and 12.
12/12/2017
- Maccabees Update: Some in the search community reported their websites being hit by update between December 12 and 14. Google confirmed several minor changes to the core algorithm during the timeframe, but downplayed the significance of the period of flux.

27/09/2018
- A “Small” Update: On September 27 (Google’s 20th birthday), many within the SEO community began noticing significant spikes and drops in traffic, indicating some sort of update was underway. Some of the sites impacted by the August broad core algorithm update reportedly made a recovery. Google’s Search Liaison Danny Sullivan confirmed via Twitter September 29 that some sort of “smaller” update had taken place (but it wasn’t a broad core algorithm update).
31/10/2018
- Unconfirmed Halloween Update: Some webmasters reported changes starting around Halloween, perhaps indicating an (unconfirmed) Google update.
