By the way, there’s no connection between Copyscape and Copygator, that  I know of — apart from the obvious similarity of name.

And here’s a tip from me. Many times a marketer wont mind if his or her stuff is being reproduced elsewhere because, knowing that might happen, he’s included a link in the article — along with the unlinked domain name. That way, unauthorized content re-use still helps you.

An elderly gentleman and his wife were invited to their friends home for dinner one evening. He was impressed by the way the host preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms such as: Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc. The host couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.

While the wives were in the kitchen, the old man leaned over to his host, ‘I think it’s wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your wife all those loving pet names’. The host hung his head. ‘I have to tell you the truth,’ he said, ‘Her name slipped my mind about 10 years ago and I’m scared to death to ask the cranky old woman what it is.’

Thanks to Ken Leatherman for sharing this. We laughed and laughed at this. Must be getting on a bit ourselves…
