Google Algorithm Change Targets Content Farms Google Algorithm Change Targets Content Farms

Google's search quality police cracked down on content farms and other low-quality Websites with an algorithm change that impacts 12 percent of the company's search results. Google Feb. 24 said it had flipped the switch on an algorithm change that pushes down low-quality Websites in its search engine, the latest in a series of moves to combat the rise of content farms and other Websites that infest the Web.

The ranking change, targeted at Websites that copy content from other Websites and those that provide little value for searchers, will impact 12 percent of the company's search results, said Google Fellow Amit Singhal and his lieutenant, Google principal engineer Matt Cutts.
