Google has added a new spam policy for policy circumvention. The new section was added to the Google spam policies document and basically says if you try to go around the Google spam policies, you can be penalized. So in short, if you find a loophole around a policy, Google may take action against your site or content or account.
Google wrote:
If you engage in actions intended to bypass our spam or content policies for Google Search, undermine restrictions placed on content, a site, or an account, or otherwise continue to distribute content that has been removed or made ineligible from surfacing, we may take appropriate action which could include restricting or removing eligibility for some of our search features (for example, Top Stories, Discover). Circumvention includes but is not limited to creating or using multiple sites or other methods intended to distribute content or engage in a behavior that was previously prohibited.
Let’s try to break this down by section:
Google said the search company “may take appropriate action which could include restricting or removing eligibility for some of our search features (for example, Top Stories, Discover).” In short, Google will once again apply an action or penalty like it did originally in the same or more server way than the original action or penalty.
With that new policy circumvention policy, Google also made tweaks to some of the other policies including the legal removals and personal information removals.
