Before you publish an article, think like your reader: "What's in this for me?" Someone will not spend 10 minutes reading a blog that leaves them feeling lost / bored / uninspired...

How NOT to create value:
- write purely for search engines
- write badly (bad grammar, etc)
- be boring
- be unfocused
- be unoriginal
- only be in it for the money

I know I'm focusing on the negatives to make my point... I shouldn't be posting while I'm in a bad mood

Anyway you get my drift...
Thats great question and know it but thanks for repeating to me.
