At Some Point Can We Stop Calling These *Slaps*?
SEOs call these what?
Google Algorithm Update?
You do all realize that’s what this is.. you don’t hear SEOs saying they’ve been slapped do you?
Please dump the reference.. really! Slapped? Isn’t it time the Adwords community matured and started calling it the Adwords Algorithm Update?
Or let’s see..
Quality Score Update? Hmmm.. that makes sense.
QS Update? Short and Sweet
How about…
My Quarterly Dose of Quality Adjustments?

P.S. I fought calling these slaps from day one, but I started saying it too - your subjected to something for so long it’s bound to happen.. I’m guilty, but maybe I can be the catalyst for change too.
P.S.S. This post is meant as a joke.. you can call it whatever you want
and I’ll probably call it a slap too again.. but I’m just saying. ![]()

Adwords Algo Adjustment
That’s what I’m calling it unless you think of something better.

It is What it is What is is. A slap. Something you give a naughty child. Plus it’s good marketing. There’s an unspoken competition amongst Google-twitchers to give that search-engine’s phenomena a catchy name.
