1. Reproduction of other people’s content
Most bloggers do this either by lifting whole sections from other blogs or websites as the full entry, or as I often do, sampling a piece from another blog as inspiration to write fresh content or give an opinion on someone else’s … Read the rest of this entry »
No More NoFollow
By 57 Comments August 22, 2005
I wrote an article titled Trackbacking Lies – How rel=â€Ânofollow†Stops Spreading the Love which outlined how the rel="nofollow" line of code is placed on all comments and trackbacks on many blogs, including by default on any blog running WordPress, such as Entrepreneur’s Journey.

By 42 Comments July 26, 2005
I’ve been touting the brilliance of blogging as a great way to get content indexed into search engines quickly.
