Google On Why It Won't Reverse The December 2020 Core Update
There are some SEOs that are asking Google to reverse the December 2020 Google core update. Truth is, it is very common to see this reaction after every single core update.

Google December 2020 Core Update Second Wave
Yesterday I reported that this Google December Core update was a really unusual core update because it seemed like the rollout happened over a 48-hour period and was not a slow two-week rollout.
