My Site has lots of that going on. I have a real estate site with many auto generated pages from property descriptions. I want to know if it’s bad to have the meta description the same as the content description of the page for that property.

I know I have about 9/10 of my pages in the supplemental index.

“Google tries to rank “resource pages” high, and “resource pages” tend to have lots of original content.”

Totally agree + resources page should have quality content. Many of the resources site owners look for content at low prices and writers spin some already used content, that also deploys the essence of resources sites.

Precisely.
Pretty much everyone can do with adding content, is the conclusion.

Thank you, Jim for taking the time to write that down. We were nodding our heads!
I also agree with the comments here that it can be difficult to get this point across to clients, even when you show them actual results from other content you’ve advised folks to write, or from content you’ve written yourself.

We try to make them understand that THEY are the authority on their shoe/plumbing/gopher removal service and that if they just think about it, they probably have lots to say about the specifics of their products and services, but I repeatedly notice a hesitancy in many very smart people who simply seem uncomfortable with the written word.

We end up having to take on a lot of the content writing ourselves (which I suppose is nice, in one way), but on the other hand, we really do believe that the business owner ought to speak up…loud and long about what they are doing.
Thanks again, Jim!

Content sells and the se’s love it! There are still too many “salesy” sites that do the hard sell, instead of offer valuable content and in return build more credibility and ultimately sales.

Good content also gets spread all over the net for high backlinks and additional traffic.

Really useful information, thankyou Jim.
but the important thing to remember, even though its good adding content, it needs to be done regularly to keep it fresh. Search Engines pay a great deal of attention to when your website was last updated, and favour the freshest information !

Well certainly yes.. Jim…

As google is known to look for fresh content in a way so that it could be satisfied that is really that site worth my notice??

Once it gets it answer (the fresh content regularly then it comes to you back and back real quick) and once it starts loving you then yeah… you are unbeatable…

Well one more thing… i m also SAM…
