Content Policy & Spam Removal Guidelines:
Web pages making use of spamming techniques may not be submitted. Such pages will be removed.
Priority Placement defines spam an inappropriate use of the search engine involving any effort to deceive the search engine into returning a result that is unrelated to the query or whose position has been artificially inflated in the result set. Some examples, but not all, of the more common techniques spammers employ to inappropriately use the search engine include:
- Embedding deceptive text in the body of web documents.
- Creating metadata that does not accurately describe the content of web documents.
- Pages whose primary intent is to redirect users to another page.
- Web documents with intentionally misleading links.
- Cloaking/doorway pages that feed Search Engine crawlers content that is not reflective of the actual page.
- Creating inbound links for the sole purpose of boosting the popularity score of the URL.
- The misuse of third party affiliate or referral programs.
Priority Placement Guidelines:
Priority Placement policies are designed to ensure that the practitioners of these and other spam techniques do not degrade the search user experience in any way.
As with Priority Placement's spam guidelines and other guidelines, Priority Placement search engines reserve the right, in its sole discretion, to take any and all action it deems appropriate to insure the quality of the Search Engine's index.
Treatment of Paid Content:
Priority Placement designed its Priority Inclusion service to improve the content quality of Search Engine databases and thereby enhance the search user experience. The interests of portals, content providers and web searchers are aligned in support of this design goal, since a positive search user experience will yield increased traffic to providers of quality content. Content providers who submit spam-tainted URLs to Search engines covered via these programs have the potential to reduce content quality and degrade the search user experience. Therefore, URLs submitted via Priority Placement are subject to these rules and any other additional policies adopted by Priority Placement from time to time.
