In line with Google’s Search Quality Rater Guidelines:

“A common problem on forum pages or in the comments sections of pages is ‘spammed’ comments: posts with unrelated comments that are not intended to help other people, but rather to advertise a product or create a link to a website… If a specific page on a website has many unrelated ‘spammed’ comments, the page should be rated Lowest.” (Google Search Quality Rater Guidelines, Section 7.6)

Thus, SaveMyCent proactively prevents spam and irrelevant posts to preserve high-quality discussions.

Responsibility for User Content

SaveMyCent maintains full responsibility for all user-generated content appearing on our platform. According to Google’s guidelines:

“The page may have comments, reviews, or other content posted by users, but the page itself is the responsibility of the website… As long as the website creates and actively maintains the page, the website is considered to be the primary content creator.” (Google Search Quality Rater Guidelines, Section 2.5.2)

Consequently, we actively curate, moderate, and maintain content quality, clearly taking ownership of every page hosted under savemycent.com.
