Splog

What is Splog?

A splog, also called a spam blog, refers to a blog that is created and filled with spammy content, often automated, plagiarized, low quality, meaningless and of little to no value to the reader.

The term is derived from the combination of "spam" and "blog" and is used for several deceptive purposes like artificially boosting the linked websites' rankings, selling links, promoting affiliate links, or making money from pay-per-click advertising.

Search engines like Google have implemented various measures to identify and devalue such websites, as they lower the quality of search results and provide a poor user experience.
