I formatted this blog post in a way I have never put a piece together before. To save you some time, I placed my point at the top. If you have the time to engage, the context is beneath it. I hope you read enough of this post to understand the argument the way I’m expressing
The Pros and Cons of Blogging on LinkedIn AND Your Own Site (Part 5 of 5)
Want to see things from another perspective? This post has an alternate version on LinkedIn. Don’t tell Costanza! I’m double-dipping. This is the first time I have ever published something on both LinkedIn and my own blog. I’m well aware of the duplicate content penalty that search engines like Google use to avoid people copying
