  1. This is a very sensible article Alok. I agree, a long article sometimes does take a lot of time. The one today took almost 2 Hrs for me. Writing was one bit, along with that adding images, working on its presentation, it does take a lot of time indeed. I love this one point you mentioned – Write for your audience and not the search Engine. Perfectly said πŸ™‚

    1. Yup I can understand Vinay. To prepare a good article takes really long time, if you go by writing, editing, proofreading, image creation, then publishing I am sure all these activities will take really good time. You know the biggest challenge for me is also the time management, as you know I really get much less time for my blogs.

      Writing for your audience is in fact the best thing which a blogger can do. Let’s forget about search engines, their likes and dislikes and simply go ahead with what your readers are looking from you.

      Thanks a lot Vinay for sharing your true opinion about my blog posts. πŸ™‚

  2. Alok, a fabulous piece. But, I stuck on this: “it is not that much easy to fool Google that you have written this piece of content.” I mean, someone has account on many blogging platform and he always post the same content on these different platforms to get maximum exposure. How do you see this behavior in terms SEO? How does it affect the blogger from SEO point of view?

    1. Good Question Ravish. If you are sharing the same piece of content on different platforms, then you are actually creating problems for your own website. I mean from SEO point of view you are actually increase the number of duplicate contents and hence creating threats for your own site. But then if you are sharing the link with different pieces of content on different platform then it has no harm, in fact better for SEO perspective.

      This is the reason why content creation even for your social media profiles matters a lot. πŸ™‚

  3. Alok, I found the options of reblogging in some platforms. How does it affect the original post in terms of SEO. Does reblogging not mean content duplication?

    And thanks for answering the previous one beautifully in lay man’s language.

    1. You are most welcome Ravish.

      Honestly in my opinion reBlogging, a concept on which Tumblr works is not at all good for SEO. By doing so we are actually harming our own website. If you are copying the entire content and placing it on some other place with a link to the original one, do you think it will benefit you anyway? Especially these days when Google is too strict about content duplicity…

      It is actually the content duplication only…

  4. Though my posts are not generally lengthy and does not require referral because of their personal nature. This article is something basic or rudimentary for content curation. reminds me of my UG days when a seminar meant days of research put together. πŸ™‚

    1. You are actually right Datta, it was like doing a lot of research before putting papers for seminar πŸ™‚ I just published a blog post giving the example of both content creation as well as content curation. Hope you will like it.

  5. Though i generally write my stuff and no referral content but this is a fantastic post Alok giving super tips to generate meaningful content in a jiffy.

    1. Thank you so much Shweta. Most of the elite bloggers of IndiBlogger write their own stuff πŸ™‚ I suppose I was the only one who use to go for content curation πŸ™‚

    This is really an awesome post . Content curation can help one to a great extent . Nonetheless, can harm to equal extent also. For example,some people end up writing a plagiarized post . Hence I want to add one more point to your blog post.
    – Take a Plagiarism Test – One should check the authenticity of his content after writing. He should use some free tools like paper-ratter and then only proceed with the publication of his post.

    Thanks for the great article sir.

    1. You are absolutely right Nitin, but what I can suggest you is to use CopyScape for any write ups which you write, no matter if you write it by your own only. It will give you a fair idea if it should not be displayed copied from any place…

      Thank you for suggesting the free tool paper-ratter for this purpose.

  7. Pardon Alok, one more clarification. What about HTML blockquote tag?

    1. That is still better Ravish. Through this tag you are actually telling search engines that it is taken from somewhere else. But what I suggest is to use pictures for those content, with and alt tag, instead of using blockquote tag.

  8. Absolutely insightful as we all struggle trying to match the demand with the time constraint and this article gives us some real ideas to ponder upon

    1. Thank you so much Chaitali, I am so glad that you liked this blog post of mine πŸ™‚ Thank you so much for your support πŸ™‚

  9. Writing for the readers/audience is the key thing…I think…at least I keep it in mind while writing an article. While composing verses, I write straight from the heart, only my feeling and nothing else matters.

    This tips are really helpful for writing a long post.Thanks again for an insightful article… πŸ™‚

    1. Thank you so much Maniparna πŸ™‚ I am glad that you liked them.

  10. I also write like you Alok – do a lot of research, then close all the windows and write from what I remember.
    Your tips are always so useful πŸ™‚
    BTW – thanks to you I decided to move my blogs (four of them) to one self hosted wordpress blog and am so happy with it. Would love to have your feedback on it πŸ™‚

    1. That is great news Kalpanaa. I guess I saw your site kalpanaawrites.com a few days back only and it is a finest blog dear. I must say you took a very wise decision.

      Thank you so much Kalpanaa, I am glad that you liked my blog posts and tips πŸ™‚

    I do take content from other pages but copying is a complete NO. Its just a few ideas , getting inspired hence I never got the need to give links to the pages I was referring. And there is no doubt that originality is way much better than curated content.. Learnt a very useful thing from this post πŸ™‚

    1. That is okay Najm, after all we too need to know certain things before writing πŸ™‚ Well, it was not true that curated content cannot be original. The idea with Curated content is that you are not actually writing a new post, just summarizing a few posts and giving them a link back. Simple.

      Thank you so much Nisa for sharing your comment and liking the blog πŸ™‚

  13. An excellent article containibg useful guidelines. I found the discussion also quite interesting.

    1. Thank you so much Sampat Kumari jee πŸ™‚
