Thin or Low-quality Content caused by Media and Its Permalinks

I have 2 years old website which was hit panda still not recovered due to duplicate content caused by internal links,404 Not Found Errors, WordPress tags and categories.

Simply I changed the URL with New domain The website was high for few days may be 15 days. but I got a message from google webmaster tools. as low-quality thin content that no value adds to the user.

I am unable to find that totally compressed and gain Changed the New URL. but this I got lucky I found thin low-quality content caused by media attachment URLs.

Thin content caused by WordPress Attachments


Actually, WordPress media default URL looks wordpress.com/?attachmentid=1223
but here WordPress media Permalink or URL slug wordpress.com/postname/attachment name

Here wordpress.com/postname and wordpress.com/postname/media name (without any content only title and media image)
Solution: Attachment Pages Redirect Plugin; Yoast SEO Plugin Not working but that have an option about redirect attachment URLs to Post page.
Finding thin Content By Words count, Modification Date, paragraphs in Article, headings count, images and other factors also.

Check google wmt parameter tool to control parameters like replytocom

  1. ?wptouch_switch=desktop&redirect
  2. ?no_redirect=true
  3. ?utm_source
  4. utm_medium
  5. ?Action
  6. ?utm_campaign=
  7. /?from_index
  8. ?wptouch_switch
  9. ?redirect
  10. ?post_id
  11. ?no_redirect
  12. ?replytocom
Replytocom evil for wordpress, if you are redirecting to mobile theme be sure to block urls using robots. or gmt parameter tool.
Above are some of the parameters that cause thin content with no value penalty by google.



Test your robots.txt with GMT (robots texter upgraded).

Try to include better robots.txt
