Lite blue content should not imitate LiteBlue

The ninth myth belongs to publishers: a page targeting lite blue should look like a portal to satisfy search intent.

That is the wrong model.

A compliant page should make its unofficial status obvious. It should correct the likely spelling to LiteBlue, explain fake-page risk, and send: a page targeting lite blue should look like a portal to satisfy search intent.

That is the wrong model.

A compliant page should make its unofficial status obvious. It should correct the likely spelling to LiteBlue, explain fake-page risk, and send account actions to verified USPS routes. It should not use login-style design, fake support language, copied recovery claims, invented phone numbers, or forms that collect employee data.

A safe publisher page should:

• Say it is informational.
• Avoid official-sounding claims.
• Use account actions to verified USPS routes. It should not use login-style design, fake support language, copied recovery claims, invented phone numbers, or forms that collect employee data.

A safe publisher page should:

• Say it is informational.
• Avoid official-sounding claims.
• Use placeholders such as official website, support page, help center, and policy page.
• Cite USPS warnings when discussing fake pages or MFA.
• Avoid account-specific payroll or benefits claims.
• Avoid collecting sensitive information.
• Help readers verify before acting.

The page should reduce bad clicks. It should not become another place employees have to evaluate for risk.
