Anti-Spam Update
Penalties will now be enforced for abuse related to:
- Excessive content generation,
- Expired domain usage,
- Site reputation manipulation .
Generating a large volume of pages with "meaningless content," where promises to address questions X, Y, and Z precede copious irrelevant text, and actual answers are buried at the end (if at all), will be penalized.
The use of automation, including generative artificial intelligence, is considered spam if the primary objective is to manipulate search result rankings. The update will address more sophisticated methods of creating scalable content, where it's not always clear if low-quality content was solely produced through automation.
Examples of extensive content abuse include, but are not limited to:
- Employing neural networks to generate numerous pages devoid of value to users.
- Parsing search results or other content to create multiple pages (including through automatic transformations such as synonymization, translation, or other methods) without providing meaningful benefits to users.
- Combining content from various pages into one without enhancing its value.
- Establishing multiple websites to conceal the creation of a large volume of meaningless content.
- Generating numerous pages with content that is irrelevant or nonsensical to readers but includes search-relevant keywords.
In essence, folks, the loophole that allowed traffic generation by creating tens of thousands of pages using ChatGPT might be closed. But that's not certain.
