SPEAKER 1: Hi, everyone.
My name is Chris.
And I am part of our
external outreach efforts
representing the
Trust and Safety Team.
My role is to help
you, our publishers,
better understand our policies
and publisher restrictions.
And more importantly, I also
work with our internal teams
to help them better understand
the challenges that you face.
Today, I'd like to talk
about Google Publisher
Policy on replicated content and
ads on pages with no content.
So what is replicated content?
We consider this to be
content that's been taken
from other websites
and publishing it
on your own website without
attribution or permission.
Publishers who publish articles
or content from other websites
and publish them
as their own are
in violation of this policy.
So why do we have
publisher policy in place?
Your content is the reason users
are visiting your site or app.
Visitors are using
your site for a reason,
whether they're looking
for business advice
or finding the
latest information
on a particular topic.
By providing users
the information
they're looking for, you're
satisfying their needs
in the moment that
they need it the most.
Delivering this content
is so vital to building
a strong and loyal user base.
When users enjoy
your content, they
continue to visit your site.
They can share their
positive experience
with others, which
helps your site grow.
Keep in mind, our
goal is to help
facilitate a healthy digital
advertising ecosystem.
We understand that users
come to publisher sites
to view interesting,
valuable, and unique content.
Sites without original content
or sites that have no content
are not useful to users.
And advertisers don't want
their ads on these pages either.
These web pages ultimately pose
a threat to the trust users
and advertisers have
in our industry.
We understand that
some publishers
take content from other
more well-known sites
on the assumption that
increasing the volume of pages
on their site is a good
long-term strategy, regardless
of the relevance or
uniqueness of that content.
Purely scraped content, even
from high-quality sources,
does not provide any
added value to your users
and may constitute copyright
infringements in some cases.
There are no
shortcuts to success.
Take the time to create original
content to set your site apart
and provide real
value to your users.
This will keep your
visitors coming back
and provide more useful results
for users searching on Google.
If we determine
that publishers have
pages of replicated content,
we can impose restrictions
on the ability of the
publisher to receive
certain sources of advertising.
If your content is labeled
with a Google Publisher Policy
Violation, Google may
block ads from appearing
against your content, or suspend
or terminate your account.
Therefore, it's
important that publishers
follow our posted help center
policies, restrictions,
and best practices.
All of our policies and
publisher restrictions
are designed and
enforced to build trust
in the digital
advertising ecosystem.
The future of Google and
our partners are linked,
and we believe in fostering
an environment where
users, advertisers,
and publishers can all
thrive in a healthy digital
advertising ecosystem.
And by valuing each party, we
help ensure the sustainability
of our industry.
We hope this video has
helped you better understand
our Replicated Content and
No Content Publisher Policy.
You can find more
videos explaining
our policies and
publisher restrictions

on our channel.
Thank you.
