Making changes may help a site improve if our automated systems learn over a period of months that the site complies with our spam policies.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of a link spam update (an update that specifically deals with link spam), making changes might not generate an improvement. This is because when our systems remove the effects spammy links may have, any ranking benefit the links may have previously generated for your site is lost.
