Thin content
Thin content is a page with little or no value to a reader, whether generated, scraped or simply empty.
Why it matters
Quality is assessed at the site level as well as the page level, so a large thin tier can suppress the good pages.
How it is measured
Compare indexed pages against pages with at least one impression in 90 days, per tier. A large gap indicates thinness.
