Greg,

In terms of Duplicate Content, what would your recommendations be when you find a wonderful article somewhere on the web, that can add value to your own followers but you don’t just want to pop the link there and say “hey, read this”?

Would writing and intro and outro, wrapping a summary + link to such an article be an option, or what would you recommend?

Your thoughts are much appreciated,

First point is very interest, perhaps many website business owners should read this point. Yes is absolutely right that we should make the website for visitors/users not for the owner themselves and not for search engine. When plan and develop a site, be considered and give what your visitors/users want in priority, when this is useful site for them, people will sure give u a credit.

I always think the most challenging part of SEO is to optimise the page so that it is optimal for both the user and the search engine.

My philosophy is to try and balance traffic and conversions.

100% traffic & 0% conversions = NO RESULT
0% traffic & 100% conversions = NO RESULT

50% traffic & 50% conversions = GREAT RESULT

and of course the one we all aim for -

100% traffic & 100% conversions = TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!

Nice list! The common thread is user experience. If we forget our users and only think about the search engines, then we are missing the point of SEO which of course is getting the user to the site, giving the user an experience that is highly related to what they’re searching for & user conversion.

Great article, thanks for the info!
