Fused Nation – UK SEO Blog

Basically the original poster asks a question about duplicate content based on a blog post he read (I assume it was this topic from Pubcon):

Why not?  Anyone expand on this?
A reasonable request based on a topic which is pretty complicated.  However the resulting “discussion” made me laugh – it’s [...]

Just a little rant about the obtuse behaviour of those who think they know it all but in reality don’t know much about anything.
While I’m happy to contend that a little arrogance is both healthy and that in the past I have probably been guilty of more arrogance than I warrant, I still feel the [...]
