Web-Site Self-Promotion
April 27th, 2009 . by Henry
With SEO comes self-promotion which is very much misunderstood and people tend to do this so heavily people are swayed from coming back. Links should be credible and must give credence to claims, linking to popular sites and giving due recognition for sources that need them as much as you do. For more professional sites you’d wish to quote or derive information from, a well prepared and courteous request for such an action would be in order, it also helps a lot with legalities should you be cited for plagiarism, a common occurrence in today’s blogging world.
There is another very dangerous side to SEO and popularity in the ranking wars which is the right to your articles that you can surely throw out the window when you do become popular for surely there would be some nut or nuts out there who would be grabbing your content in no time. Sites like Plagiarism Today and SplogSpot have extensive libraries of splogs, or scraped blogs/spam blogs along with resources on how you can get your content protected. Many other experts do offer their expertise, sometimes for free but mostly for a fee. If you are launching a professional site that you deem should be protected by copyrights and others, make it known but for public access documents that you’d be happy to share with the whole world, try using CC licensing and other free-realm document governance laws.
