In a welcome update for website owners, Google made clear changes to its spam and abuse resource center on Google Search Central.<\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest updates include more robust suggestions to prevent abuse and identify spam accounts, instead of focusing on how to monitor for it.<\/span><\/p>\n
