SEO is like a cat fight? I love the cat fight pic. That’s the best SEO analogy. LOL

In reply to Kimberly.

You can absolutely repuropose on your own website, however, you need to be careful as to how you do it. Generally however, each page is written with a specific purpose, so it doesn’t always work. Personally, I’d be using internal linking rather than using the same content in more than one location. Also, I’d be looking at ways to strengthen the site in order to give site visitors better direct (in other words, increase the number of people going the way I want them to).

Drawbacks? Duplicate content if you aren’t careful, but it also has to do with your visitor. If I go to 10 different products, and they all have the same content/description, it has a negative impact in that it looks like all products are the same… give me a reason to buy the bigger and better one.

As per the link, I’m honestly not a fan of automation. The way I see it, computers are not intuitive enough…however, I would have to try it long before recommending it to anyone.

Hi Angie,
One thing that keeps getting overlooked is how you can re-purpose content within your own website. Not all visitors are going to navigate the same way – and it seems that the newest content management systems are helping people do this. Can they do better? Sure. What do you think? Do you think that there is a drawback to being able to re-purpose content on your own website? I’d love to know what you think about this: http://www.oshyn.com/_blog/Sitecore/post/The_Next_Evolution_of_Web_Content_Management_Technologies/

Hi Mike,

It definitely hard to find things to write about after awhile, but even then, there’s always some thing new. For me, it’s the inspiration 🙂 Sometimes just a slight change in direction helps. I’m currently working on a report/study that you may find interesting in that regards as well. So, keep your eyes open!

Great Article and I agree with everything you said….though I wish I didn’t practice some of the don’ts I still do just because I have nothing left to write about after blogging for 10 years now. I ran out of things to write about about five years ago.

Good Article though.

Juhani, TM — I absolutely agree and it’s precisely why so many people don’t see content as important. They produce a series of ‘how to scratch your back articles’ that in no way target the audience or intrigue them. The way I see it, if it wouldn’t interest me as a customer, it isn’t going to interest anyone else either.

Vikram — You are most welcome!

Thank you for providing some excellent insight on this topic. I especially liked the part where you talked about matching your audience. I think this is a critical area that most people pay the least amount of attention to. It may take some research to figure out the best way to do that, but it can really make a difference when you are trying to build relationships with people. I also agree that it really important to find that “hook” to not only differentiate yourself from others who are probably covering the same topic, but to also grab the attention of viewers and make them interested in hearing what you have to say. Again, great tips and what a fun way to present it to us!

Good points. How easily readers find out, if the writer has not done the homework. The quality beats always the quantity. So the proper post planning is very, very important. And the “HOOK”, which you mentioned. We should always be able to stand out from the crowd, to build our own angle.
