Dominique asked 3 years agoGoogle Declares War on Content Farms
Google is targeting content farms — a common name for low quality sites whose main goal is to attract search traffic by piling up (mostly) useless content, usually by producing large amounts of low-quality text or by copying it from websites with original content.

Official Google Blog: Finding more high-quality sites in search
We can’t make a major improvement without affecting rankings for many sites. It has to be that some sites will go up and some will go down. Google depends on the high-quality content created by wonderful websites around the world, and we do have a responsibility to encourage a healthy web ecosystem. Therefore, it is important for high-quality sites to be rewarded, and that’s exactly what this change does.

Wonder if they will class article directories in the same boat. Google slowed down link farms, content farms obviously the next step.

Good move, though can’t imagine how they can make the algorithm intelligent enough to tell the difference.
Anyone noticed any change yet?
Somewhere around 11% of sites were effect by the update. It would not be too difficult to find pages that scrap other sites for content and devalue them, it would be harder penalizing unique but poor quality sites. I guess one idea would be to look at spellings on a page, obv if there is over 100 then soothing is wrong or look at the structure of a sentence.
If you use Word then you know that that is able to tell you spellings, tell when you use there and their wrong and underline sentences that are not grammatically correct.
