When to use the UGC attribute on a website?
The UGC (‘user-generated content’) attribute looks like this: This attribute should be used to markup all links posted in any designated user-generated content sections of websites (i.e., links posted in the comments section).
What does UGC mean on a Google link?
The UGC (user-generated content) attribute will also allow webmasters to signify they do not editorially endorse specific hyperlinks on their site. Additionally, the UGC tag will also let Google know that the link is within user-generated content, such as a user comment or forum post.
How old is Google’s nofollow and UGC attribute?
On Tuesday, September 10th, 2019, Google announced that the currently 14-year-old “nofollow” attribute would be set to receive two significant new siblings: the “sponsored” attribute and the “UGC” attribute (UGC stands for “user-generated content”). So, why improve something if it is not broken?
What’s the difference between nofollow, sponsored and UGC?
Essentially, the use of the nofollow attribute allowed webmasters (in theory) to prevent PageRank parsing through links they did not editorially endorse (either internal or external). However, Google has now introduced two similar types of attributes, called the sponsored attribute and the UGC attribute.
Why is Instagram the best platform for UGC?
For many brands, Instagram is the primary platform for UGC. Users create and share posts featuring your brand, exposing your products and services to their audience. Better yet, you can share that content with your own audience, boosting your credibility in the process.
Which is an example of an UGC campaign?
Use your packaging. Have a section on your packing slips/invoices pushing the idea of UGC content and your hashtag if the customer is happy with their order (and to get in touch with your support team if they’re not happy). Follow up with email. Design an email that goes out after purchase again pushing your hashtag and UGC campaign.
