User-generated content<\/strong> has umpteen benefits like building trust, providing social proof, attracting more discussions and engagements, etc. And recently, Google<\/strong> has released a guideline for publishers<\/strong> allowing user-generated content on their websites or pages.<\/p>\n

The sole purpose behind this guideline is to help publishers make a strategy that will help them to manage user-generated content on their website.<\/p>\n

So, if you are planning to incorporate UGC on your website then Google wants you to know that as a publisher you are completely responsible for all the content present on your website or app. And along with this, a publisher must ensure that content which also includes comments that are added by users present on all pages where Google ad code<\/strong> appears adheres to Google\u2019s applicable program policies.<\/p>\n

This makes user-generated content management more crucial for publishers.<\/p>\n

But, don\u2019t worry. To help publishers, Google has provided some strategies to successfully manage user-generated content. Let\u2019s go through them.<\/p>\n

UGC Management Strategies By Google<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Publish a content policy<\/strong>: It is always preferred to inform users what they are allowed to post.<\/li>\n
  2. Routinely review your pages with UGC<\/strong>: Publishers need to find out time to review their pages with user-generated content.<\/li>\n
  3. Add links to report bad content<\/strong>: Let users report problematic content by adding a \u201cReport A Violation\u201d link.<\/li>\n
  4. Recruit user moderators<\/strong>: Enlist the community to help flag inappropriate content.<\/li>\n
  5. Build an automated content filtering system<\/strong>: Based on the type of content present on the website, publishers need to create a filtering system to automatically detect certain types of content.<\/li>\n
  6. Use captcha on content submission to fight back against bots<\/strong>: Use captcha before content submission to restrict bots from submitting content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Google also clarifies that if any publisher doesn\u2019t want to monitor UGC manually or by using any third-party management platform but still wants UGC on their website or pages then the publisher needs to change the site design. It means place your user-generated content in a new webpage that doesn\u2019t have Google ad code.<\/p>\n

    Also, Google warns publishers to be careful if their websites \/ pages allow UGCs which also run ads. In such conditions, publishers need to follow Google\u2019s Publisher Policies<\/a> for all the content as well as comments present on those pages.<\/p>\n
