Do not generate large sets of low-value pages from templates, feeds or LLM output

Scaled content abuse, many pages generated mainly to manipulate rankings rather than help users, is among the spam policies Google recently updated, whether the pages come from generative AI, scraped feeds, stitched sources or keyword text. Said at Search Central Live: churning out pages with LLMs repeats the script-generated spam of the early 2000s, Google counts AI slop as scaled content abuse, and this type, rather than link spam, is the one worth talking about today. Google's guidance says using generative AI to produce lots of text without manual oversight represents little to no effort.

Put programmatic page types (location by service, product by keyword, one page per question or per fan-out query) behind a review: each page needs unique, useful main content, otherwise do not create it or keep it noindexed. Do not auto-publish LLM drafts or feed-derived pages in bulk; cap automated publishing and require an editor's approval per page.

Regensbot proposes a verdict with the evidence; a person on your team confirms it.

The evidence comes from a crawl of your site. Where content needs judging, Claude proposes the verdict as an assistant judge and never fails a page on its own.

The crawl is polite: sitemap first, one request per second per host. A problem it finds is definite, and “none found” passes only on a complete crawl.
