What does it mean to have unique content?  Is it that you take an RSS Feed from 8 places and merge them together? Is it taking articles and editing a few words here an there?  No it means original content.  Sure you can easily aggrigate content from multiple sources and be someone’s one stop shop, but you’ll never be that one stop shop for the search engines.  You need to have a few original thoughts in your life about your topic, if you do, write about them.  Or if you read a really good article, you can post a summary of it and then link to the original if you want.  The important thing is that your site should be different from everyone else’s site.  This will give more reason to give your site higher rankings and gets spiders looking at you more often than not.  If you are blogging for personal benefit, then that should be easy, but if you are blogging on a topic some people will fall into the not so unique content.  It’s important to be aware of limitations and just keep writing, even a “bad article” is better than a copied one.
