Google Simplifies Policy Circumvention Spam Policy
Last November Google introduced a new catchall search spam policy named policy circumvention. That spam policy was listed to be able to take action on sites that bypass the other Google spam policies through other means.
Well today, Google has updated that spam policy to simplify the wording based on user feedback of the policy.
The policy circumvention now reads:
If you continue to engage in actions intended to bypass our spam policies or content policies for Google Search, we may take appropriate action which may include restricting or removing eligibility for some of our search features (for example, Top Stories, Discover). Circumvention includes but is not limited to:
- Creating or using multiple sites with the intention of continuing to violate our policies
