The pattern of certain words or phrases appearing together across many documents about the same subject. Search engines use co-occurrence data to understand semantic relationships between terms and topics.
Text produced entirely by algorithms or AI models. Google evaluates all content by the same quality standards regardless of authorship, so computer-generated pages need genuine depth and accuracy to rank.
