  • QUOTE: Automatically generated — or “auto-generated” — content is content that’s been generated programmatically. Often this will consist of paragraphs of random text that make no sense to the reader but which may contain search keywords.

    Some examples of auto-generated content include:

    • Text translated by an automated tool without human review or curation before publishing
    • Text generated through automated processes, such as Markov chains.
    • Text generated using automated synonymizing or obfuscation techniques.
    • Text generated from scraping Atom/RSS feeds or search results.
    • Stitching or combining content from different web pages without adding sufficient value
