As long a person is using your articles without making any changes to it and with all due credit to the original article write, i don’t think there a need to fret too much about it.

I agree with TallTrol but I think that the almighty G would be interested in minimising the need to do that sort of stuff.

If there’s an advantage of exporting it, then why not do it?

Each to their own I suppose, though.

Yes indeed, very good insight there TallTroll, most people miss this important stuff.

>> One thing that was new to me was something called “boilerplate repetition”:

Sounds like “block level analysis” stuff. Interesting that Adam recommends “exporting” it. I would have thought it was simple enough to spot common blocks of text / code (sitewide header / footer blocks, for instance), note it, and ignore it, effectively.

Pushing it off the page adds a click to user clickstream – is that a “good user experience” according to Google?

I’ll bear that in mind…
