Hi everyone, hope you all had a great and productive week.
Same content, different domains? There’s a tag for that. Using rel=canonical to tell Google that similar or identical content exists on multiple domains has a number of clever applications. You can cross-post content across several domains that you own, you can benefit from others republishing your own content, rent or purchase content on other sites, and safely use third-party distribution networks like Medium to spread the word.
In Rand’s Whiteboard Friday video below, he covers all the canonical bases in this not-to-be-missed video.

SEO Writing in 2018: Top 47 Tips to Master a Combined Art
Many agencies continue to believe that SEO writing revolves around one process: inserting keywords into page tags and the body of text itself.
This belief remains strong, although it’s 2018 and the quality and relevance of content have more proverbial weight than a few keywords in the title or heading tags.

With that said, here are the top 47 writing tips for any content writer within any type of company, from billion-dollar software designers to local pizza joints. The focus weighs more towards the art of writing itself, which will naturally led to the creation of quality content that search engines demand.
