Why your niche page is at risk of being penalized by Google

The vast majority of affiliate pages are virtually identical. If you've seen one, you've seen them all. This pattern could help Google update its algorithm.

The other day I pitched a new idea for a tourist app. Apparently Google beat me to it by launching something almost identical to “my vision” called Goggles . Basically you take a photo of an object and it returns additional information about it. So far it works for products, tourist attractions and a museum (Metropolitan Museum of Art).

Google may already automatically recognize the type of website
We agree that, at first glance, not knowing the technology behind it, it seems somewhat complex to take a photo of the Eiffel Tower and receive back a Wikipedia entry or other relevant information. The difficulty, from my point of view, arises in always recognizing the same subject when the angles and quality of the photo vary.
Let's take another example. If you want to take a photo of japan telefonnummer a web page, you simply take a screenshot. Except for the size, there are no variations in quality or angle. I think we can agree that it should be relatively easy for Google to recognize the type of website (portal, forum, blog, online store, etc.) based on its structure through a simple screenshot, even in an automated way.
Beyond interpreting a page at a content level, it makes sense to add the layer of analysis at a visual level . With Goggles you have shown that it should be a simple thing that you could even be doing already.
Are old-school Made for Adsense pages on the way out ?
This makes me think. There are many Made for Adsense (MfA) type pages on the web. I don't think this is bad by definition because even Trovit or Softonic ultimately base the vast majority of their income on clicks on their users' ads (although it is true that Softonic must also have a significant share of downloads). These types of pages may even be desired by Google if they manage to provide value (or let's say from the search engine's perspective).
