Hey there
i have coded a plugin for vBulletin 4 that prevent thin content.
This mod will add the meta noindex tag to threads with a word count equal or below the setting you specify.
For example:
The word count within a thread is under 200 words and the thread is older than 60 days, the <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow"> tag will automatically placed in the header. When someone post in the thread and the word count is higher than 200 words the <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow"> will removed automatically.
That will increase time on site and page views per visit.
Websites with shallow content aren't helpful to searchers, so as a company trying to promote the best search experience possible, it makes sense that Google is trying to ensure only the best content is surfaced in the SERPs.
As for thin content, Panda will slap you with a low score for short or unsubstantial articles.
Google said:
Quote:
low-quality content on some parts of a website can impact the whole site?s rankings, and thus removing low quality pages, merging or improving the content of individual shallow pages into more useful pages, or moving low quality pages to a different domain could eventually help the rankings of your higher-quality content.
How to install:
Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
Place {vb:raw vbstylesNoIndex} inside the <head></head> section within the SHOWTHREAD-Template.
Best regards
Matthias

Yes, that's my own mod without download the other one. The idea is the same as in the other mod.
With my mod you can set a specific time (after the time the thread will automatically noindexed with the tag).
Huh? So you originally posted the mod under a different name, and now posting it under this name, or that person released a mod under their name that you custom coded for them?

I believe he meant that, he thought of this.. created it then noticed the other mod and how it was very similar so he referenced it. I could be wrong, how I read it.
Majora,
what happens to threads with a wordcount >200 and an age >60 days? The settings are a bit confusing, saying
Quote:
Enter Thread Age (days). The threads that haven't been updated within the age will have the NoIndex Meta tags added.
.
Does that mean any thread which hasn?t become updated via a new posting in the thread age timeframe of 60 days will have a noindex attribute? Even those with >200 words? Or is this a AND condition [if ((wordcount<200) AND (ThreadAge>60)) = NoIndex] ?
At least the idea sounds promising. I guess I?ll give it a try and do some testing. The next Google update should be in about a month or so and my site is decreasing since a year, which is based on Panda and the increasing loss of quality in postings - the facebook symptom: quick and more postings, less text, far more less quality and on top pure senseless off topic chatter. You all are familiar with that
Starting point is a PR4 (static since 10 yrs) and 122000 actual search results displayed in Google via a "site:www.mysite.com" search . The settings of this Addon are set to a wordcount of 200 and a thread age of 30 days.
