Les pages ne sont pas dignes de confiance si le MC est délibérément obstrué ou masqué par des publicités, du Supplementary Content (SC, contenu complémentaire), des pages interstitielles, des liens de téléchargement ou d'autres contenus qui profitent au propriétaire du site sans profiter nécessairement au visiteur. Les tentatives de manipuler ou de contraindre les utilisateurs à s'éloigner du MC sont un signe de manque de fiabilité. Voici quelques exemples de pages au MC délibérément obstrué ou masqué qui doivent être notées Lowest :

Section 4.5.4, page 38

Pages are untrustworthy if the MC is deliberately obstructed or obscured due to Ads, SC, interstitial pages, download links or other content that is beneficial to the website owner but not necessarily the website visitor. Attempts to manipulate or coerce users away from the MC is evidence of untrustworthiness. Here are some examples of pages with deliberately obstructed or obscured MC that should be rated Lowest :

  • Ads that continue to cover the MC as the website visitor scrolls down the page. The Ads are virtually impossible to close without clicking on the Ad
  • Pop-ups that obscure the MC and cannot be closed without taking an action that benefits the website
  • An interstitial page that attempts to coerce a download or click that does not benefit the website visitor
  • Ads that push the MC down so far that many users would not notice the MC
  • MC in white-on-white text or MC presented so that it is difficult for a human being to read Logins or paywalls on otherwise trustworthy sites should not be considered untrustworthy, deceptive, or coercive. Many high quality sites such as newspapers or magazines cannot exist without monetization through subscriptions and paywalls. Some types of MC should be login protected, such as pages with personal information online banking websites or private pages on social network websites. MC may be inaccessible for non-deliberate or non-coercive reasons, such as content that doesn't load or content that is unavailable in a country or region. These are not reasons for Lowest. Use your judgment to assess whether the page is designed to manipulate or coerce users into taking actions that benefit the website. If you are unsure, look at other pages on the same website, conduct reputation research, etc. Important: Remember that many websites need monetization to share content with users. The presence of Ads alone is not enough for Lowest .
