Default What exactly is Shallow content?

web2.0 & short article is hit by Panda update. google call it Shallow content

Google Panda Update 2.2 - did google rolled it out , Tips to recover from Panda

then i search about it and this i found
Just because an article is long doesn’t mean there’s more value. Just because an article is short doesn’t mean that it’s shallow. Sometimes long articles are long merely for the sake of it. Sometimes short articles are jam packed with great information and resources

any one tell me What exactly Shallow content is ?

I would consider shallow content, content that has none or very little unique parts to it, scraped content, mashup pages, pages with just search results, article spun pages and pages with very little content.Google is looking for quality unique content. No one knows for sure how many words it takes to not be considered shallow, but if you focus on producing quality content and writing what others will find useful and not stuffing keywords in it, then I believe you will be in good shape.

I think what is not relevant to your topic is called shallow content. It doesn't have any kind of relation with small or big content, it should be accurate, to the subject concerned.

I think hand on heart, if you are writing content, for a web page, blog, article etc you know yourself if content is shallow.

I would take it as poorly crafted, probably short, with an obvious blatant agenda, such as anchor text for some keywords.

If you land on someones blog, if you are engaged enough to read it all the way through and either agree/disagree with the post, or find it useful and have learnt something, then that is good content.

Then look at your own content, would visitors say the same about your own posts? If not, why not? Are they are simply SEO manufactured posts, in which case I would deem this as shallow content.

Default Unique but for how long

Problem I can see I write a great unique article - because its good then it gets ripped off - spun, copied, scraped and its then not unique anymore.

If I write a poor one then no one wants to read it or scrape or spin it.

Seems to me you can't win one way or another.

Thank you guys for giving the explanation to "shallow content". Have never heard about this term before.

One advice for avoiding google panda that is quality and unique contents.

The excellence of your content may lead your site to "forwarding links" from other resource sites. This will also grab people's attention and eventually bring them back again or share your site to others.

Always keep your keyword phrases in mind in writing the content of your site. So as to volume, the more facts you share, the better it would sound to the readers.

Its all about having very little content and that is not good in the eye of Google as it likes always good and unique content.
