Beware of third-party content
Google has issued a warning to sites that host third-party content – content written by others and published with little oversight, often on microsites within a larger site. “If you host third-party content on your main site or subdomains, please understand that such content may be included in the signals we generate across the site, such as the usefulness of the content. For this reason, if such content is largely independent of the main site’s purpose or is produced without close oversight or involvement from the main site, we recommend that you block it from being indexed.”
Here, more detail from Gary Illyes about third-party content in subdomains or subdirectories and that HelpFul Content will also take into account, as if it were part of the site (site wide signal).
Among its advice to webmasters, Google explains what can happen to your site if it is affected by this update : “Our ranker for this update runs continuously, allowing it to monitor new and existing guatemala number data sites. When it determines that useless content has not returned in the long term, the ranking loss will no longer apply.” Google also highlights that “sites with a lot of useless content may notice a stronger effect.”
Ultimately, you should create content for people, not for search engines . However, to avoid falling into this bad practice, Google explains in its Search Center a series of questions that you should ask yourself when creating your content so that it is useful:
Will the content you create be useful to your audience?
Does your content demonstrate first-hand experience and deep knowledge on the topic?
Does your website have a main purpose or focus?
Will people who read your content feel like they've had a satisfying experience?
Will people who access your content learn from it? Will it meet their search needs?
