Don't Spam me Bro

I have seen quite a few really uninteresting posts lately.
Some are total copy/paste and others are nothing but a link. 

Copy and Paste

I think the idea behind copy and paste maybe that the copywriter did a better job than what the poster could do however:

1. This is not necessarily true, some material is not even spell checked 
2. Your own words will most likely sound more natural and better to the reader
     (Think of telemarketers who you know are reading a script, horrible!)
3. Search engines hate duplicate content (why is yours better than the others?)
4. Formatting matters - a web page is not a blog post is not a tweet, etc

Location, Location, Location

1. Post your material in a related area otherwise your target audience won't see it
    (and the people who do see it probably won't like it)
2. Don't post Spam in a Rules area stating "Don't post Spam"
    (actually saw that today)

Spice it up a bit

1. Post a picture to catch the viewers eyes 
(Spam can would be good here but that's Hormel's IP and I don't have permission) 
2. Try something with layout, this isn't my best work but at least it's not a wall of text
