Bohdan Lytvyn, SEO professional, Nertis Agency founder

Many eCommerce sites and marketplaces have a problem with "thin" content pages and content similarity, which may result in sudden deindexation and algorithmic penalties.

Why Thin Content Hurts Your Site?

Google's core updates and the Helpful Content updates increasingly reward high-value, original content that benefits users — and deprioritises sites bloated with:


  • Low originality content.
  • Near-duplicate category or product listings.
  • Auto-generated or AI-written filler.
  • Shallow blog content.
  • Content that leads to no engagement (clicks, etc).

Common Signs of a Thin Content Penalty

  • Organic traffic dropped sharply after a Google update.
  • Pages with poor rankings despite correct technical setup.
  • Indexed pages with little or no engagement.
  • Search Console showing indexation problems or soft deindexing.

Lior and his team new that their blog was not performing well enough. Despite the fact that its was one of the major client of clients.

It was slow to index and slot to gain traffic. So, it both had a technical SEO problems and the lack of coherent Content strategy.

The content was a little too biased toward design and layout topics with an evident lack of user facing and educational content.
