Reposting Made Me 1 Mealeeon Dollars!

I just read about this program; (no, I’m not linking to it); that basically combs your archives for old posts and then reposts them. Supposedly, this has been coined, (by some), in the Internet Marketing niche as a way to appease the search engine Gods. ::cough::

Many arguments & opinions can be found regarding this topic; its been something that’s been going on for a while. And if we want to engage in the basic flow of human interpretive thought; we might even be able to argue that newspapers have been doing this for ages… but, there’s a subtle difference..

..as this interesting expat blogger puts it..
“Instead of re-posting, if there’s anything relevant to add why not do a follow-up with a pull quote from the original article and a link back to the original post? Newspapers have been doing something similar for ages.
(a comment posted by Ian on this blog regarding the same topic)

Basically, Ian is the one that initiated this post; (although he has no idea who I am). I had been thinking about doing something along the lines of reposting but didn’t feel comfortable with just blatantly reposting something I’ve already posted… and Ian’s comment made absolute sense to me and solved my dilemma. Thanks, Ian!

I mean, think about it. If you’re blogging then your blog has a theme.. a basic overall subject matter. Whether eclectic or not, there’s some type of logical (or illogical; which is simply anti-logic and still logically based) thought flow. Thus, you’re paying attention to that subject matter enough to have built a blog around it, in the first place.

If that’s the case, then any new information that will come from that subject matter is of importance to you and you’re constantly consuming more and more information on that subject matter.

Right?

So, the new information you have today is in all actuality more information; (updated even); than you had when you made the original post. Therefore, should it not be kinda easy to post something fresh and simply refer back to the original post in the new post?

On a final note, (‘cause now I’m kinda ranting — logically), regarding appeasing the search engine Gods… they’ll actually be happier if you were to add content to the Net instead of redistributing the same stuff without any changes.

So, if you run across that program, (or anything like it), Just Say No!

Cool? cool
peace
