Use Links to Show You Care

This morning I received an email from my Google Calender informing me to post a new blog post. So this week why not focus on Google and Family Friend Poems. We have a bit of a relationship. We serve their ads on some of our pages, this blog post is actually being written using Google Blogger, and today 60% of our visitors were introduced to us through Google Search, a fact I know thanks to Google Analytics.

A recent article on the Official Google Webmaster Blog, about Duplicate Content caught my attention.

You see we have an issue on this website. Visitors are posting content from our website on their personal profile pages on MySpace and other social networking sites. This can create problems for us because then Google and other search engines don't know whose content it is. This means they don't know which page to show in the search results. Your MySpace page or the original FamilyFriendPoems.com page.

Here is an example from our introduction to Friend Forever Poems, the introduction was written by Shlomo, one our editors and a talented writer. A rather unique phrase from this short pharagraph is "How is it that people can talk so casually about a concept that we cannot even wrap our minds around" At first, when I search for it on Google there are 3 results Now click on repeat the search with the omitted results included and what do you know 76 Results!

Please enjoy our content, just don't post it on the your Profile or Blog. Instead place a link to your favorite pages on FamilyFriendPoems.com on your Profile Page. There are tools, such as Gigya, Add This and other features throughout our website to help you do just that.
