Auto-generated Main Content and Ads

Automatically generated (auto-generated) content is content that has been generated programmatically (not by a human). Often it will consist of paragraphs of random text that make no sense to the reader but which may contain words in the query. Some examples of auto-generated content include:

• Text translated by an automated tool without human review or curation before publishing.

• Text generated using automated synonymizing or obfuscation techniques.

• Stitching or combining content from different webpages without adding sufficient value.

• Text generated from scraping Atom/RSS feeds or search results.

Note: Web publishers (such as the BBC, CNN, Usenet, CNet, NY Times, Atom, and others) publish information online that is readily available to users through RSS (Really Simple Syndication). RSS feeds appear on many pages. However, we will call a page spam if the entire MC is auto-generated and was created just to make money.
