Article Marketing - Know the Difference Between Duplicate and Unique Content

What is duplicate content? When something is not considered duplicate, does that mean it's unique? Is original content the same as unique. For me at least, these were some very confusing concepts.

First of all, the term duplicate content is HUGELY misunderstood. For instance, most people believe that if they submit an article to an article directory, and then to a newsletter, then to a blog, this would be considered duplicate content, but it's not.

DUPLICATE content is when you have the SAME article on the SAME website, on a different page. For instance if you submitted the same article to the same site, maybe after changing the title, this WOULD be considered duplicate content because it's listed on the same site more than once. Why would people do this? Well for the obvious reason, more back linking and less work, but also to fool Google into thinking that their site is bigger than it really is.

Now, please, DO NOT get duplicate content confused with unique content. They are entirely different. UNIQUE content means that the content can not be found anywhere else on the web, and that it was created uniquely for them. You will find a lot of sites that will request only 100% unique content for submission. Now, of course you're thinking, wait a minute, was hasn't been done already, what hasn't already been explained or written about? That's not necessarily the point of unique content. It is taking a concept or an idea, that has or has not already been explained, and putting your own unique twist on it. Make it more interesting, make it funny, make it controversial, do whatever you have to do to make it stand out. I for one, hate combing through the crap when I'm trying to find an answer to something. Don't B.S. to try and make 300 or 500 words, you'll lose your reader. Get to the point.

One more thing. I've also seen a lot of submission sites ask for original content. Again, this could be very confusing. ORIGINAL content means, they want content written by you, not someone else. They do not mean that they want unique content created just for them.

Once you understand what these terms mean, you can unlock the door to successful article marketing. So, get busy submitting, and get those articles out there!!

Want to Know the Difference Between a Visit and a Unique Visit?

When you start owning and operating websites there are various terms that you will come across that may seem a little confusing. To know how good your website is doing once you get it up and running you will need to know the difference between Visits, and Unique Visits. In addition to that if you are interested in marketing and you began to sells space on your site to other companies they will almost always ask, "How many visits does your site get?" Many of them will want to also know how many of those visits are unique. You can easily look this information up in your back office but do you really know what you are telling them.

A visit is when a person comes to your site to take a look at it. For instance, you decide you want to come check out my website to see what it's like. When you do that you have visited my site and that is counted as a visit.

Then there are unique visits. Unique visits are when a person visits your website that has not visited it before. This time frame however is only measured on a 24 hour basis. For example, you have already visited my website and after about an hour you decide you want to look at the web hosting specials instead of just looking a coupon codes. So you come back to the site. The second visit is not unique the first visit is the only unique visit. Then you come back a third time over 24 hours later that visit will then be another unique visit.

There is another catch. All of this is normally dependent on the visitor's browser cookies or IP address. I can visit a site and clear my cookie and in 15 minutes visit the site again. That site will at that point think that visit is unique. So a person can continue to clear the cookies and look like a unique visit like some bulk visitors do. There are also flaws in the tracking of the IP address. Some companies that provide internet access are starting to change the IP address for their clients more often than they did in the past to protect them but it is making them appear as a unique visit. So as you see we can do our best to track but don't bet your life on it. But at least now you know the difference between what is being called a unique visit or not.

Many people confuse Vintage Style decorating with the Shabby Chic decorating style. However, there are subtle differences between the two styles.

Shabby Chic by its name has an atmosphere of benign neglect but still has an elegance surrounding it. Vintage style decorating, on the other hand, has the potential of bringing you back to your grandparent's home. It is similar in a way to retro style decorating. The furniture may resemble that found in the Shabby Chic home. It may be well loved with peeling paint and many dents and scratches from much use. The differences are not found so much in the furniture used in the two styles. What separates the styles are the accents and accessories found in the vintage style home.

Vintage Style Home has Unique Fabrics

Fabrics are an important ingredient in creating this type of kitchen. If you love the large floral prints of the 40's you are well on your way to enjoying this style. Calico prints from the 30's and 40's can also be found in this kitchen.

Oilcloth tablecloths are commonly used.

Oilcloth is hard to obtain these days, but flannel backed table cloths in vintage prints are easily available. Oilcloth was also used to cover and protect cookbooks.

Another favorite in the kitchen is the old roller towel rack. These often had linen calendar prints or beautiful floral linen prints on them. If you can't find one of these roller racks, they are simple to make as is the roller cloth.

Another kitchen staple was the terrycloth towel with the crocheted buttoned handle that could be attached to a drawer knob or the oven door handle. Dishcloths and towels often had hand crocheted edges to keep them from fraying and help them last longer.

Other Vintage Style Kitchen Decorating Ideas:

Display a variety of aprons for the 40's and 50's on a vintage coat rack in your kitchen. You can find a wide assortment of these on ebay for a reasonable price.

A wooden folding rack for trying dish towels attached to the wall was a common site in vintage style kitchen. The slats would fold down into it when not in use and could be brought out for drying towels and dish cloths when needed. These are common items often found in yard sales and flea markets.

Enamelware, both blue speckled and white was popular during that era. Enamelware tools were also used. eBay is a great source for this type of kitchenware. For setting the table, enamelware place settings along with pottery and stoneware were popular at that time.

The Vintage Style Kitchen Accessories

Below is a list of items you might find in a kitchen decorated in the vintage style:

* gallon butter churns

* butter molds

* wire egg baskets

* rug beaters

* a display of old keys

* colored canning jars

* milk bottles

* antique cookbooks

* vintage pottery and canisters

* tin breadboxes

* vintage salt and pepper shakers

If your laundry area is adjacent to the kitchen, you could continue the vintage theme there. Washboards, stocking stretchers, and clothespin bags could be hung for wall decorations. Ironing boards were left out because they were used almost every day as there was no permanent press fabric during that time period. Blue striped ticking was the most common covering for the ironing boards. Colorful calicos or cotton floral prints were also a favorite fabric for covering ironing boards. If you have room to leave the board up, it can be used as a display area for vintage area table linens and dish cloths.

These are some ideas for decorating your kitchen in the vintage style. Hopefully, by now you get the idea of the differences between shabby chic and vintage style.

By now you may understand the differences between shabby chic and vintage style. As I mentioned earlier, these differences are subtle, but the change in atmosphere and feeling is important. While vintage style is a nostalgic "remember your grandmother's house" atmosphere, shabby chic will remind you of an elegant old aunt with a proper front parlor in her home.

Google Docs are used today by a wide range of users - from students to businesses and many in between. Those who rely heavily on it for different reasons will find the following tips very useful. If you are one of them, read on!

Auto-Correct Typos

Just like Microsoft, Google Docs corrects typos that you make. In addition to the typical mistakes that every other speedy type-r makes, such as typing 'the' as 'the', there are person-specific mistakes too. You can tell Google Docs about the mistakes you make, and what to turn them into. This way you won't have to do it yourself every time.

To do so, follow the steps below.

1. Select 'Tools'

2. Go to 'Preferences'

3. A dialog box will appear. Check the box next to 'Automatic Substitution'.

4. Then fill in the boxes under the 'Replace' and 'With' with the mistakes that you make and their substitutions.

Share Google Docs

There are people who don't use Google and they might not be able to view the documents they are meant to read. To enable them to do so, follow the instructions below.

1. Click on the icon 'padlock' on the top left of the site.

2. A dialog box will appear. Click 'Change' next to 'Private'.

3. Another dialog box will appear. You can click 'Everyone' or 'Anyone with the Link' depending on what your requirements are.

4. You can also allow non-Google users to edit the document. You can do so by checking the box next to 'Allow Anyone to Edit'.

5. Click 'Save'.

6. Share away the documents by messaging, emailing or any other medium you like.

Bookmark the Document

Just like you bookmark parts of books that are reading in different sittings and have sections that you would later want to re-visit, you can bookmark Google Docs documents too. This can be helpful for a number of situations. Bookmarks can help you recall things that you might require later, make table of contents and other purposes. There are two ways of bookmarking one of these documents.

You can insert a bookmark by clicking 'Insert' and then clicking 'Bookmark'.

Also, you can create a link by selecting text in the document and then pressing 'Clt+K'. A dialogue box will appear. Click on the radio box labeled 'bookmark'.

Preview a Google Document in Gmail

There are times when a document needs a very brief glance. To save time, instead of opening the entire page, you can simply review it by activating the Google Docs Preview option in your Gmail account by doing the following:

1. Go to 'Settings'

2. Click 'Labs'

3. Find 'Mail add-on' and move on to Google Docs Previews

4. Click the check box next to 'Enable'

5. Click 'Save'

The tips above can revolutionize the utility of Google Docs. However, use them carefully. You don't want to give everyone around access to your private documents or the authority to edit it.
