Keegan Mon, 07 Apr 2008 17:22:49 +0000 http://www.matthewkeegan.com/branding-is-not-just-for-the-big-boys/#comment-128 Richard, I agree. I have more than 700 articles on ezinearticles.com and am glad when someone takes my article and republishes it provided they leave the author information in tact. Sure, I could have easily rewritten the article, but that wasn't my point --- I wanted to give credit where credit is due. Richard, I agree.

I think he forgets or just doesn't know that the people who write these articles and submit them to places like ezinearticles.com absolutely love it when people use their articles and give them proper credit and a link. It's basically why most do it. If anyone doesn't agree with that point well maybe you'll agree with me when I say that most people appreciate when bloggers do this as I would have never known about this article/good read if you hadn't posted it. I find a lot of good stuff when other people post stuff. Anyways, thanks for the post and good luck! Richard I think 5ubliminal is a little too touchy.

That's ideal branding. :) Well, Matt, it was about time that you started a blog on a domain with your own name. That’s ideal branding. :)

If they objected to the content, then that would be another matter. Seeing that I get one or two visitors per day at the moment, there isn't all that much to go around yet. If this site was as busy as my flagship blog, then that might be another matter.

Copy/Paste of content looks bad no matter how you look at it. One phrase and one link would have looked so much better. And I don't discuss the quality of the article here. Regards.

I thought it was a good idea and worth sharing. Occasionally, I'll share other articles as appropriate. My brand is currently through my <a href="http://www.thearticlewriter.com/blog" rel="nofollow">The Article Writer</a> site. After the first of the year I'll work on fully developing this site. As far as Google goes, I can't worry about them. Sure, I optimize my site for the search engines, but they don't dictate my content exclusively. 5ubliminal, one public article doesn’t make for a site dominated by other people’s stuff.

If this your branding... using someone elses work? Or maybe it's yours and you post it there. But the very fact your post exists freely and can be used by anyone makes you a very weak brand from my pow. Write original stuff, rewrite existing stuff, don't write ... just don't copy/paste! PS: I see your site is quite new as the archive is only for November. Duplicate content will not make Google love you! Why would you post free public articles on your blog?
