      Should I show my archives on my site? I have WordPress and have dragged the archive widget to the bottom. Would this be considered duplicate content?This is what it looks like.

        Yes, if you have gone to the length of creating worthwhile posts, you should give users an avenue into finding them. Google is likely very familiar with this type of sub navigation and unlikely to ding you for something like this. I might suggest thinking about what content within your site you'd like your users to find and whether or not these links satisfy that.

        Otherwise, yes archive links are pretty standard for blogs. As long as you are providing a decent amount of content in your posts you should be fine.

          Matt Cutts' blog has categories & archives. If he thinks it's ok, so do I.
