So what exactly does the ‘original’ in original content mean? that will be the interesting and ironic topic of this post:

Technically speaking it means that no part of the content contains any sentence or clause that matches exactly that which is contained in any other sites on the same subject. So who cares and how does anyone know anyways? Well, that’s a very good question to ask the Google Gods.
