      I am a consultant who works for a website www.skift.com. Today we received an automated message from Google Webmasters saying our site has quality issues. Since the message is very vague and obviously automated I was hoping to get some insight into whether this message is something to be very concerned about and what can be done to correct the issue.From reviewing the Webmasters Quality Guidelines, the site is not in violation of any of the guidelines. I am wondering if this message is generated as a results of licensing content from Newscred, as I have other clients who are licensing content from Newscred and getting the same message from Google Webmasters.Thanks in advance for any assistance.

        Sounds like you got duplicate content on your website. Is this the case?

          Quality Issue's I am assuming is referring to things that are violating Google quality guidelines which a list of them can be found here.

          Would it be possible to post a copy of the email to see exactly what it said? That might give us a better idea what kind of message it is and we might be able to point you in a better direction.

          Unfortunately Google's messages are broad, but they do it that way on purpose.

            Did you check your errors in the webmasters to figure out if you have duplicate content warnings or other warnings types from Google?
