John Mueller from Google stated that bulk-generating pretend URLs of your competitor’s web site mustn’t result in unfavorable search engine optimization and rating points for that web site. “This isn’t one thing I might fear about,” he added.
Mike Blazer requested John, “Bulk generate non-existing URLs on a competitor’s web site that result in 5XX server errors when opened. Googlebot sees {that a} substantial variety of pages on that area return 5XX, the server is unable to deal with requests. Google reduces the web page #crawl frequency for that area.”
John replied on Mastodon saying, “I am unable to think about that having any impact. This isn’t one thing I might fear about.”
