Andy
I agree in general to what you are quoting in your recent email. Yet there are
exceptions to the case.
Most people are single trackers. Give them more than one task it fouls up their brains ability to function and overwhelms them
I have been working in the field of NeuroPsychology for 25 years.
People who are right brain oriented can function with multiple tasking
without problems. The right brain functions digitally in in pictures instead of linear analog processing. Left brain functions at about 34 bits per second while the right brain functions at 240,000 bit per second.
This explains why people can photo read a book in 30 minutes to two hours where the average person may take up to 24 to 40 hours to read the same book.
Granted we can accomplish more single tasking. I have discovered many exceptions to the case.

So if I syndicate my articles (that are also published on my website) I’m shooting myself in the foot? Even if every syndicated article has a link to the original article on my website?

Hi,
interesting ?
I have a site that knocked me out of #1 position on Google for my keyword a few weeks back. Only 7 articles on the blog and 5 were reprints from other authors. Also, this blog had 900 backlinks and 800 of them came from another blog of the same author ?
How does Google let that one slip by?

Wow “expression engine” sounds very sophisticated, can you tell me where one can learn that? That is, if it’s not too difficult.

Thanks,

Good stuff as always.
One way to deal with templates and duplicate content is to create editable regions in some parts of your templates. I do it in Dreaweaver where in places like right navigation column, I create a couple of small editable regions where I change links a bit or place a paragraph or two of related content to the topic of the page.
This of course has nothing to do with the left column where the original content/article is. It is always original.
As I look closely at Google’s updates, I notice one trend. They don’t like people to automate tasks related to content creation or SEO. It has to be “hand made”. Of course, they don’t mind using streamlined processes themselves.

We’re talking about observable effects here… most likely (some) article directories have a great deal of authority because of inbound links. Not sure what kind of competitive SERPs you’re seeing where article databases are ranking especially well.

Always great information. Someone has to steer us around all the google holes on the net.

If Google punishes duplicate content as you guys say, then why do the major article directories that are filled with duplicate content rank so high in Google?

Can someone explain this to me clearly?

Thanks

As always, great information that can be put to use right now. Time to tweak some pages.
