Avoid duplicating anything

Questions about duplicate content are probably the most common of all I get asked. For example:

    Can I use the same content across two sites on two different domains?
    Can I use the same content in my meta tags across all the pages on my site?
    Is it all right to use the same Title on all my pages?

Out comes one of Rosam’s SEO Rules of Thumb. The one that says if it’s lazy, the search engines will probably skewer you for it.

Honestly, the search engines will either penalise you or ignore your efforts. So why bother?

Create some real value in your site and everyone will love you.

  1. That’s great advice for not only your own website or blog, but also for articles you submit to directories and/or for other websites.

    There’s a great posting about that here:
