Boost Your Search Engine Visibility With Blogs And RSS
In the last post, I mentioned why we lay a great deal of stress on content as one of the mainstays of our SEO strategy.
But just any old regurgitated content won’t do. Google has been trying to implement a duplicate content filter for a while now, and sites that host similar content are being weeded out.
We don’t need to mention that using someone else’s content is also illegal and violates copyright laws (unless the content comprises free reprint articles that have a link back to the author’s site).
To avoid Google’s duplicate content filter and take your site to the #1 position, your content needs to be:
1. Unique
2. Relevant
3. Fresh and Updated
A well-written blog is one of the best ways to create fresh, unique content, and we’ve used blogs with great success. So to demonstrate exactly how blogs can benefit your SEO efforts, we’ve written a whitepaper on this sizzling topic.

This is something that has been needing to be done. You get tired of what someone says is new content when it turns out to be the same only with different titles.
Google isn’t the only one tired of old regurgitated content, many would be customers are feeling the same. It is time for new information, which really means is it will take you a little more time getting something out because of the research you are doing for it.
Instead of just changing names because you bought all the same information as everyone else has. It’s this why the marketers talk about ghost writers to write for you.
It’s about time!

Dear Kim, I agree that you sometimes need ghostwriters, but be careful where you hire them. I have had ghostwriters lift content from my own articles and palm it off as their own. You should use a tool like http://www.copyscape.com to check if your ghostwritten articles have been picked up from somewhere else.

Priya - Excellent paper and right on target! Copyscape is great but I go one step further - when posting for writers - I actually tell them that ALL content will be run through Copyscape upon receipt - and that the funds will not be released from escrow if the copy fails the “test”. So far - seems to be working!

Yes that’s a good way to go, Melody. Thanks for the tip. I’ll keep it in mind.
