An issue with duplicate content

I haven't been posting much lately because I have been working hard on my websites. However, I recently read an article that prompted me to quickly write this post. According to a recent SEMrush study the most severe issue they detected when conducting SEO site audits was duplicate content. Anonymous data was collected from 100,000 websites and 450 million pages. It was found that 50% of the websites audited faced duplicate content issues!

I can't believe that this figure is so high. It is actually good news for those of us who try to post the best original content we can come up with. If so many people are just rehashing the work of others, there is plenty of opportunity for those who really have something new to say.

Even if you find it difficult to come up with something completely different, put your own slant on the topic and give it your own flavour. This will make it stand out from the rest.

Cheers and have a great day filled with inspiration!
