Technical Definition
Thin content is pages with little or no added value: very short pages, auto-generated content, doorway pages, or pages that exist only to rank for keywords without providing useful information. Can trigger Panda-related quality issues. Solutions: expand with valuable content, consolidate multiple thin pages, noindex, or remove. Affects site-wide quality perception.
Simple Explanation (ELI13)
Thin content means pages with barely any useful information. Maybe just a paragraph or generic text that doesn't really help anyone. Google doesn't like indexing pages that don't provide value. Either add more useful content, combine thin pages into one better page, or remove them entirely.
