Le Site Reputation Abuse est une tactique où du contenu tiers est publié sur un site hôte principalement à cause des signaux de classement déjà établis de cet hôte, qu'il a gagnés essentiellement grâce à son contenu de première partie. L'objectif de cette tactique est que le contenu se positionne mieux qu'il ne le ferait par lui-même.

Le contenu tiers est du contenu créé par une entité distincte du site hôte établi. Exemples d'entités distinctes : utilisateurs du site, freelances, services en marque blanche, contenu créé par des personnes non employées directement par le site hôte. Avoir du contenu tiers ne suffit pas à constituer un Site Reputation Abuse ; il y a abus seulement si le contenu tiers est publié sur le site hôte principalement à cause des signaux de classement déjà établis du site.

Section 4.6.4, page 41

Site reputation abuse is a tactic where third-party content is published on a host site mainly because of that host's already-established ranking signals, which it has earned primarily from its first-party content. The goal of this tactic is for the content to rank better than it could otherwise on its own. Third-party content is content that's created by an entity that's separate from the established host site. Examples of separate entities include users of that site, freelancers, white-label services, and content created by people not employed directly by the host site. Having third-party content alone isn't site reputation abuse; it's only site reputation abuse if the third-party content is published on a host site mainly because of that host site's already-established ranking signals. Examples of site reputation abuse include, but are not limited to:

  • An educational site hosting a page about sponsored reviews of payday loans written by a third-party that distributes the same page to other sites across the web
  • A medical site hosting a third-party advertising page about "best casinos" that readers wouldn’t expect and that’s being placed on the site to rank better due to the established site’s ranking signals
  • A movie review site hosting third-party pages about topics that would be confusing to users to find on a movie review site (such as "ways to buy followers on social media sites", the "best fortune teller sites", and the "best essay writing services")
  • A news site hosting coupons provided by a white-label service where the main reason for publishing the coupons on the news site is to capitalize on the news site's reputation
  • An established first party site branches out into a new area primarily using freelance content because this content will rank better on the first-party site than it would have otherwise Examples that are NOT considered site reputation abuse include:
  • Wire service or press release service sites
  • News publications that have syndicated news content from other news publications
  • Sites designed to allow user-generated content, such as a forum website or comment sections
  • Columns, opinion pieces, articles, and other work of an editorial nature
  • Third-party content (for example, "advertorial" or "native advertising" type pages) where the purpose is to share content directly to readers (such as through promotion within the publication itself), rather than hosting the content to manipulate search rankings
  • Using affiliate links throughout a page, with links treated appropriately , or embedding third-party ad units throughout a page
  • Coupons that are sourced directly from merchants and other businesses that serve consumers
