Wow, here we go! Search Engine Strategies New York 2009 was great. I would like to talk about the dos and donts of duplicate content, one of the most interesting panel discussions on the event.
More and more site owners are concerned about Duplicate Content & Multiple Site Issues, Search Engine such as Google or Yahoo can penalize you if you have more than one page or site with the same content. That is what we call duplicate content.
If you run mirror sites, will search engines ban you? If you have listings that are similar in nature, is that an issue? What happens if you syndicate content through RSS and feeds? Will other sites be considered the "real" site and rob you of a rightful place in the search results? This session looks at the issues and explores solutions.So here are a few highlights from that session.
1) Duplicate content is not good always change it up new text keywords and overall content.
2) Always use a 301 redirect when using more then one URL to pint to one site or blog.
3)Having your brand name on more then one platform as a blogger only works with content that is not the same.

What is blogging to you?
What is blogging or a blogger to you? There are so many Blog nowadays with these blogs come all types of topics. What kind of blogger are you Education, Citizen Journalist,Hobbie, enviromental,family,business blogger or main stream news. Some of us do one type while others enjoy a mix of many topic across many blogs they own or networks they post to. For me I love teaching,citizen Journalism,product reviews,sports and more. How do you know what type of blogger you are?
This is not that hard you to find out. It usally just happens to most people. There are other ways to find out. First do you like to write or shoot video? Second are you in a position to help others learn? Do you like to get stories that you see on the streets. Lots of Comapnies that do not blog need to watch there steps. for instance Path Mark supper markets had rotten meats because of open packaging. I Shot video and showed the manager. Later head quarters called me back I missed the call. I tried to call them back with no luck so I will post that video here youtube and on Helloignorants and Streets Journalism
The point is that companies have to do the right things these days with some many cameras watching. The best thing for these companies to do would be there own blog to control what happens by allowing others to post comments. Then they can do the right thing by following up. So look around you will find things to blog about or I should say they will find you.

Get a customized URL and lose the Blogspot
You can customize your URL using YourBrandName.com instead of having .Blogspot.com in your blog address and still keep using Blogger platform to host your blog.
The other way of having your dot com in the shape of a blog is buying your domain and then pay for a hosting service. What we did with BloggersSchool.com was buy the domain from GoDaddy and pay for their host. We are using WordPress.org plug in to power our new blog and it has being a super interesting experience. We will keep blogging here and on BloggersSchool.WordPress.com for learning interests.
The video below show how-to purchase and set up a Custom Domain through Blogger.
