“With #1 though, how do category links create duplicate content issues?”

Hi Matt – This really depends on the nature/structure of your blog. One example would be a single author blog. If you are the only one producing content, it doesn’t make sense to link to the author category, since it will be the same as the main blog index.

#3 is a favorite of mine. I agree that it totally throws off a site’s authenticity when they use some of the default words/phrases. With #1 though, how do category links create duplicate content issues?

Hi Steve – I was referring to removing links on the blog itself (category, tags, etc.) not links within an individual blog post.

You pointed out some interesting settings to change. Anyways, as for number 1 which is removing extraneous links, though they are somewhat beneficial for SERP’s, isn’t it against author’s copyright to edit its content if it was taken from article directories. As for the other tips, I think it could prove well…

Thanks for putting this together. I’ll see what links can be stripped from our blog ASAP!
