MC and SC are important parts of the page. It is easy to understand the need for MC: MC is the reason the page exists. SC is also important. Almost every web page needs navigation links, and most pages can be improved by features and content designed to help users get the most out of the page and website.

Many pages have Ads. Without advertising and monetization, some webpages could not exist.

Do not worry too much about identifying every little part of the page. Carefully think about which parts of the page are the MC. Next, look for the Ads. Anything left over can be considered SC.
