Definition
Links marked with rel="ugc" attribute identify user-generated content such as comments and forum posts. This helps search engines understand the context and origin of the link.
Why It Matters for SEO
Using the correct UGC attribute helps search engines understand why a link exists and reduces the risk of penalties from user-submitted spam.
