Does Google frown on Adsense accounts with lots of sites?

Made For Adsense - and that means different things to different people. I'm talking about sites without any original content, or scrapper sites that take a paragraph from each top ranking site - the idea being that the sum of the content taken from the top ten rankings sites will rank your site higher. Basically, the type of sites you hate to see when you are searching for information on a topic.

 

Does Google consider sites with content taken from free article archives as MFA?

Or do they only care if you've used obvious low quality contend taken from other sites?

 

It's considered duplicate content and will likely go into supplimental results. Google frowns on duplicate content as there is little benefit to having 500 sites with the same information. Google likes original content, and in a perfect algorithm, those sites won't rank well at all. While there are sites that get through their filters, a long term approach would always be to use original content if you are looking for natural SERP's. A robot isn't able to judge the quality of content (or at least very well), but can easily detect duplicate content. With google moving towards a manual review of authority and top ranking sites, quality will certainly play more of an issue in the future. It's also much harder to get natural links for a site that contains only free articles.
