[BNM] [bnm] SEO, Tumblr, Posterous and whatnot

[Rosie Sherry]

As mentioned by Kath, duplicate content is not good technically for SEO.

It's the first I heard that Tumblr isn't good for SEO, where did you get
that info from?

Also, generally if you are trying to attract visitors it's best for them to
know where the best place is to get the original info.  If you have two
locations someone might only come across one.  This might mean things like
different people linking to different versions of the site, therefore
reducing the power of having links/buzz/conversations directed to just one
site.

If that makes sense? - Basically, make sure the content/conversation happens
in one place.  The web is already over croweded, I'm in preference of
reducing the clutter.
