ComboStrap Quality - Low Quality Page Protection (LQPP)

Table of Contents

1 - About

If your website has a lot of low quality page:

This feature if enabled makes low quality page no more discoverable by Search Engine and prevents you to be banned by Search Engine.

Since version 1.11

2 - Thin content with little or no added value

The Thin content with little or no added value is explained in the webmaster documentation

If you are going to the Google Search Console, you would see the following alert.

This site appears to contain a significant percentage of low-quality or shallow pages that do not provide users with much added value (such as thin affiliate pages, cookie-cutter sites, doorway pages, automatically generated content or copied content).

The effect is that:

  • Your website is deleted from the Search Engine Index
  • Your website will then be no more discoverable
  • and your visits will plunge.

3 - Demo

We have created a low page demo to show you the protection in action.

  • Link: This is a internal link to the low quality page. If you are hovering over it, it will shows a tooltip asking you to log in in order to see the link with the LQPP acronym that stands for Low Quality Page Protection
  • Mode: The protection mode of this website is hidden which means that everybody with an external link can still navigate to this page. For instance, if you click on this external link low quality demo page, you should be able to see the hidden low quality page.

4 - Configuration

4.1 - Enable

This protection is disabled by default. If you want to enable it, you need to check the lowQualityPageProtectionEnable checkbox configuration.

A protection becomes active for a page when it was analyzed.

4.2 - Mode

The protection mode determines how the page is protected from Search Engine.

There is two possibilities:

  • Hidden (default) - The page is still accessible directly but is not searchable. A visitor coming from an external link (such as backlinks or email) will be able to see the page but the page will not be advertised to Search Engine.
  • ACL (Access Control Lists) - The page is not accessible to anonymous user. The user needs to log in to see the page.

5 - Support

5.1 - The link does not appear as a low quality page protected link

This module uses the analytical process that cache the data by default. If you want to see the links, you should clear the cache.
