[Air-L] etiquette for reusing or reposting blog posts

[Eric Goldman]

I realize this isn't about etiquette per se, but some venues don't like to
repost content that has already been posted elsewhere online because, as
part of its anti-search engine spam initiatives, Google may downgrade a
website's PageRank for having "duplicate content."  Eric.
