Hi there,
I have recently joined a company to look after the e-marketing side of things, anyway the company I work for have been writing articles for a website that they own for over 2 years, probably about 200 or so unique articles on that website, however over the past year or so there has been no contribution to this site and was wondering if it would be worthwhile transferring these article over to our blog?, as this is where all the attention is in terms of marketing etc
Kind Regards,

I think Alan already gave an answer to this. Moving content to commercial site will make it stronger at the cost of weakening non-commercial site.
If you are planning to focus all your effort on commercial site, it sounds like a good ideas. On other hand if your non-commercial website is important to you as well you might one to reconsider it.
Kind regards
Bojan

Thanks for your quick reply Alan.
I will only strengthen the website I put them on if I delete this page from the website I am taking them from, is that correct?
Kind Regards,

Hi Bojan,
Ok, the company I work for has a website example.com (non-commercial) as well as there main website (commercial) where the blog is also hosted, however on example.com they have been producing lots of well written and original articles over the past 3 years or so, however over the past year or so there has been no contribution at all to this website and to be honest there has never been a marketing strategy for this website (I know hard to believe).
So I thought the main website & blog (commercial) where all the effort is and a marketing strategy to support the effort is in place, why not move these articles over to the blog, where is will be seen by thousands and may have an impact on SEO.
Please let me know your thoughts.

You will weaken the site you take the articles from, and strengthen the one you put them on.

How to fix thin content issue?
Hello! I've checked my website via Moz and received "thin content" issue: "Your page is considered to have "thin content" if it has less than 50 words" But I definitely know that we have 5 text blocks with unique content, each block consist of more than 50 words. Do you have any ideas what may cause this issue? Thanks in advance, Yana

What to do with blog content that is no longer relevant to our business
We are a marketing agency and we have LOTS of blog posts still on our website from when we used to specialize in e-commerce services. We've since shifted There are a lot of old and frankly irrelevant blog posts on our website. My questions: Should we remove these from the website so better "shape" our content profile towards the services we actually offer? Should we attempt to update them so they are still relevant even though we don't offer those services? If we get rid of those pages, what should we redirect them to? The main blog page?

Does Widgetised Content Index The Same As A Regular Page
Hi, We have a website that was built in my opinion bizarrely where the bottom half of the page where most of the content is, is a widget. I just wondered if the content being in a widget is indexed any differently. I ask as normal pages seem to index and rank much better than the wordpress template using the widget. Hope someone might be able to clarify this. Thanks

Unoriginal Content Shared By Web Firm with Industry Niche
I have clients who have worked with Web Design companies that focus on a particular niche. As most of you may know, these type of web companies use the same content on all of their clients' sites (examples: Dentists, Law Firms, CPA's). I want to propose to this prospect for us to do a site redesign as part of their SEO contract. The site they use right now is managed by the type of web company that I have described above. But the main question is, if they keep using this site with unoriginal content - will it hurt their rank of have no effect? I plan to add plenty of original content to their site.

Is this duplicate content okay?
We have a client who wants to rank locally, nationally and internationally for their products. I wrote a line that goes, "We can ship our products to you whether you’re here in Illinois, nationwide, or international." I added that line after a paragraph or two of unique product description on each of their 30-odd product pages. Will this damage their ranking? I tried researching this but only found full page duplicate content topics. Any advice would be great.
