What is Thin Content
Thin content refers to pages that provide little unique value - they may be too short, duplicate other content, be auto-generated, or simply not helpful to users. Google may demote thin content or penalize sites with too much of it.
Example
A 100-word product description copied from the manufacturer, or tag pages with just a list of post titles and no context.
How to apply it
Audit for thin pages (under 300 words without good reason), noindex low-value pages, consolidate similar thin pages, add unique value to product descriptions.
