    BRUSSELS,, May 6 (Reuters) – Alphabet's Google has offered to change its spam ​policy criticised by publishers, according to a European Commission document ‌seen by Reuters, in a move that may help it stave off an EU antitrust fine.

    The U.S. tech giant found itself in EU regulators' crosshairs after ​publishers complained about its site reputation abuse policy. It targets ​the practice of publishing third-party pages on a site in ⁠an attempt to abuse search rankings by taking advantage of ​the host site's ranking signals, commonly referred to as parasite SEO.
