Google is releasing the October 2023 Spam Update to reduce spam in search results globally.
The update focuses on addressing cloaking, hacked content, auto-generated content, and scraped spam content in various languages including Hindi, Turkish, Chinese, and more.
Google has established clear guidelines in its spam policies, highlighting what it considers unacceptable.
This includes hidden text/links, auto-generated content, scraping, excessive ads, and thin affiliate pages.
Google also dislikes practices like cloaking, deceptive redirects, or creating "doorway" pages.
To maintain a positive online presence, it's crucial to adhere to Google's spam policies.
To stay on Google's good side, websites should avoid spam tactics and prioritize an honest user experience.
The update will roll out over several weeks. Google's anti-spam efforts evolve with changing techniques, and user reports play a crucial role.
