Oops! My Blogging Zoom booboo…
This is just a really quick post to say “Don’t Do This…”
I’m finding that I really quite like Blogging Zoom as a place to display my content. Also I’ve found many great articles there from other bloggers. One bad thing about Blogging Zoom is that I’m finding myself spending a fair bit of time on it. I think I’m gonna have to start setting the egg timer. 
Of course, I haven’t had any content to submit up until the last few days. Being in a hurry, I didn’t follow “the rules” and could have got myself banned for it.
When you submit new content to BZ, it has bolded, in caps, with a red font (basically you can’t miss it) [ DO NOT COPY PASTE ] I thought, not a big deal. I’ll take the time next post… Turns out it was a big deal.
You can read the full post here, but basically what you’re doing when you copy and paste is really hurting yourself.
Every time you copy and paste your content in a submission let it be here at Blogging Zoom or any other social voting site you are giving yourself and Blogging Zoom a duplicate content filter penalty with Google.
I never really thought of it like that before. Needless to say, I’ve gone back and corrected the error. 
And all is good again.
In an upcoming post, I will be doing a review of all of the social networking sites that I have been using, and tell you what is working for me and what isn’t. In fact, after that post, I will be adding/removing networking buttons on my blog to reflect more accurately what I use.
Until then…
Expect the Best,
blog, blogging zoom, bz, copy and paste, Social Networking, zoom, zooming

Oops! My Blogging Zoom booboo… | Home With Heather…
This is how a respectable blogger deals with things. Instead of making a baby crying post, she decides to take the high road instead and make corrections not only to comply but most important so she does not hurt herself or other bloggers using Bloggin…

Don’t be too embarrassed, it’s happened to almost everyone it seems. At least you have the guts to post about it.
Thanks for going back and correcting it as well; not everyone would have done that.

Maybe I need to go back and correct mine…while I have over 200 submissions, I’m sure the first big chunk of them were C&P…I had no clue about it until Vic mentioned it one day…

200 submissions?? I only had 2 to fix, wasn’t that big of a deal

Mike could do it if he wanted to. We all know he doesn’t really work at his “real” job anyway.
(I’m just teasing, by the way, Mike and I are friends.)

I’m guilty too! Going back to fix my posts and feel like I’ve been slapped by Vic!

I made the same mistake a few times until I noticed that Bloggingzoom was sending traffic because it was just as if I had two entries in Google for the same article
