Duplicate Content over Multiple Domains – SEO Issues?
I recently purchased some domains for SEO, and I wanted to do some research about best practices for using multiple domains on the same content.
The good news? Google does not punish duplicate content; they just sort it out themselves.

3 Simple Steps to keyword order SEO – Are your words SEO friendly?
ArrayMuch search engine optimization revolves around guessing how users will search to find your site. When you’re optimizing for organic (non-paid) search results, you may be surprised to find out how much word order impacts the search ranking.
Optimize your website for organic search with varying keyword order
If you search the major search engines, you will find that the order of your keywords makes a huge difference on where your website ranks.

WordPress.com finally updates to 2.5 — A review
A picture [of my cat] is worth a thousand words.
I’ve been waiting for WordPress.com to update the administration panel so that I can have galleries. That is the main feature that I’ve been waiting for. Now it’s here, I can finally upload pictures of my cat (and my wife 
)
This will also allow simpler embedding of video, audio, et al. I’m glad it’s finally live.
EDIT: There seem to be a few kinks still with this feature — instead of having thumbnails, the site was loading the full images. This is obviously an issue. Until then, you get a thumbnail of my cat in the grass.

Optimizing a website for search: Google vs. Yahoo! and MSN
When I think SEO, I think of Google. Why? Is it because Google’s PageRank system determines better websites? Is it because Google’s advertising options are superior? It’s as simple as this: Google gets better results than any other search engine.
The major search engines often don’t agree
Optimizing websites for search is frustrating sometimes. The biggest search engines are Google, Yahoo!, and MSN. The frustrating part of optimization is the variation between the search engines. The variations in ranking can be huge. I will use Katz Web Design’s ranking information to show some examples:
| Yahoo! | MSN | Difference |
