Google's September Spam Update Hits AI-Generated Content Sites Again
gaganghotra_ · x · 2026-09-28
SEO expert Glenn Gabe, analyzing Google's September spam update, again flags "Mt. AI" — a pattern of piled-up AI-generated content — saying he has seen multiple examples. Pure programmatic content sites ("Mt. Programmatic") and hybrid sites mixing AI-generated with programmatic content are also being hit, consistent with his August spam update observations. A clear risk signal for sites relying on mass AI content for SEO.
