Nice catch! Good article!

This morning I wrote a post titled: Search Engine Optimization is like Fishing. I also got a picture from last summer with a fish that I caught, and decided to do something funny and publish a picture with a fish on my blog. I use my blog professionally, – meaning clients see it and call me to do SEO for them. So the images published before have been far more – ‘corporate’. An hour ago, I decide to check if the blog post is indexed in Google, and to check how does it rank for its title. And cool it is first in our local Google.ie but I also notice in the SERP the article published on some other post already!

And I think, how those aggregators get those blog posts so quickly, and get them published and indexed and listed in Google as quick as I got the original listed. But guess what? I click on the link,… and the photo is different!!! Now,… an aggregator cannot do that so someone stole my article and even put his image!…

Then looking further, even the article is not the same… Actually it is not the same at all!!!

Hold on…

This is not my article. Actually, this article is 2 years old!

The only similarity is that is has the same title (and that is ne crazy title…) And actually, it has the image of a fish just caught!

So how many SEO’s are fisherman as well, and write crazy articles comparing the two?

Ivan,… The wanabe fishermen.
