"Hi Heather. In the article I spoke about clearly defining your goals for your content - in other words content ought to be created to serve a purpose of some kind of conversion based metric; shares, signups, point of contact, comments. With your content as well - each piece shouldn't deviate too far away from your blogs purpose. In the case of a cute kitty photo we're not really adding value to our niche and I wouldn't expect any kind of meaningful conversion/interaction from that. Also Heather I do agree with you about using competitors blogs for content research; it can be difficult to know for certain but we need to be looking at the types of content they're posting and find the intersection between that and our own goals. Once we test this we will get a pretty good idea whether or not we should keep this in our content strategy which we should refine constantly from data we gather and our changing goals."Guest Blogging has not Decayed as Matt Cutts Declared: Here is what Decayed Instead
