On August 1, 2018, it happened more than once. Google used one of its algorithm. Immediately, sites in the YMYL category (Your Money or Your Life / Tu Dinero o Tu Vida) began to see major changes in their search rankings, some positively and others not so much. With the update – already informally dubbed by some as “Medical Update” due to the strong impact on health, nutrition and well-being sites – several doubts arise. Let's fix them right now! What are YMYL pages? First of all, it is important to understand what the acronym YMYL means to know if your site is at high risk of being affected or not.
For that, we're going to start using Google's own Phone Number List definition, which says: “Some types of pages can impact the future happiness, health, financial stability or security of users. We call those pages “Your Money or Your Life,” or YMYL.” Then, Google itself gives some examples of pages considered YMYL: Purchases or financial transactions: pages that allow you to make purchases, make payments or transfers (such as ecommerce pages and online banks) Financial information: pages with information on investments.
taxes, retirement plans, financing, consortiums, insurance and other financial services; Medical information: pages with information on health, medications, mental health, nutrition, medical treatments and related topics; Legal information: pages with legal advice and information on issues such as divorce, child custody, obtaining citizenship, etc. Public pages or pages that contain important official information for citizens: this is very broad and includes pages that talk about government processes (of any sphere), social programs, responses and disasters, international events and many others.
