Content Curation Myths Exposed
Myth: Curation is just creating “duplicate content” which Google frowns upon.
Fact: Real curation does not create duplicate content under the rules Google set forth long ago to combat multiple versions of the same website on different domains showing up in search results. Google will rank anything that is unique that qualifies for a search term over other websites, even if some of the content on the page is found elsewhere. Wholesale copying of content from one website to another is not curation.
Myth: Linking out to other websites takes people away from my site and hurts my traffic.
Fact: Linking out is how the most popular sites on the web became and continue to be such valuable resources. They are popular, high-traffic sites because they are useful to readers who appreciate (and come back for) the things they discover on good sites.
Myth: Aggregating content with RSS feeds and other “scraping” methods is curation.
Fact: This is called Autoblogging, and auto bloggers are selling their software under the buzzword
“curation” in an attempt to fool people. Don’t fall for it. Google doesn’t rank these sites and
people don’t like reading them.
