Scaled Content Abuse
A Google spam policy violation where pages are generated at scale primarily to manipulate search rankings rather than help users.
Scaled content abuse is defined in Google's spam policies as producing large volumes of content — whether through automation, AI, or manual processes — where the primary purpose is manipulating search rankings rather than providing genuine user value. Google's enforcement escalated sharply in 2025 with three dedicated spam updates and an estimated 750K monthly manual penalties targeting this violation.
