(Especially if you are a pro-blogger.) If your site has duplicate content, why should people bother checking it out? Another thing to consider about content is that you have to make sure that search engines and people could read them. This is where SEO copywriting comes in.

Bill Slawski, one of the best SEO minds today, recently did a fun post (usually his post are very cerebral) showing the old Digg.com. Facebook.com, Twitter.com, MySpace.com, and Yelp.com, and of course the current versions. Digg.com used to be home to Digg Records, a site on Russian Tourism. Facebook.com used to be home to AboutFace Corporation, an internet directory site. Yelp.com was a directory as well. MySpace was a web design company (makes sense from the name) and Twitter was just up for sale. Twitter's site was the funniest since you'll have no idea what it was used for ...
