Duplicate Text on Blog & Internal News Page
-
I have two places I post news for our company.
Our blog - typically more informal posts
mycompany.wordpress.com&
Our news page - typically more newsworthy than the blog
mycompany.com/newsMy question is, It is okay to just copy the exact text from my wordpress blog and paste to my news area of my site and vice versa?
Does this hurt ranking potential for either page?

Hi, I think the one to be copied to the other may have existing indexing in Google, so in general speaking it should have better ranking already but depends on domain weight too...i think if possible, you'd better not to 100% do copy & paste because this could cause duplicate contents cross the different domains, they are competitor pages to Google, as google doesn't know they are belonging to same company. therefore, it could cause some ranking up and down, but i think it;s minimal..
my suggestion is: from seo perspective, choose which domain or page is more important to you, focus on that domain./pages on content creation and link building...or.. if you have time and energy, you could do different contents each time which i think is not realistic..thanks Boson

Blog or article length and SEO value
Why do different blog lengths affect SEO differently? Is it directly affected by Rankbrain or the Google Algorithm, or is it more because of user engagement?

URL Structure for Blog
Hi guys, Hope you are all doing well today. I have a questions with regards to our blog URL structure. The URL for the blog is /blog - however when you click on a blog post the "/blog" disappears completely and is replaced by the title of the post. So it is ".com/title-of-post" for example. Would it be better to keep the blog subdomain in the URL so it is ".com/blog/title-of-article" Any insight would be appreciated. My thoughts are that surely the second option above is ideal? Thanks Tom

Could this be an issue with duplicate content?
Hi everyone, I am working with a business consultant in the HVAC industry and doing SEO for 8 of his clients (all HVAC businesses from around the US and Canada). Each website is essentially a mirror of the business consultant's website with really the same information-- it applies perfectly well to each individual website, but it IS nearly, if not, identical. I'm getting ready to implement a blog on the original HVAC page and have been considering using the same content (customized to reflect each business-- but still the same information) for blogs for my other 8 clients. My questions are: 1. Is the mirroring of the website a duplicate content problem? Example if you're interested: http://www.mcair.com (original) and http://www.jpsheating.ca/ (client). 2. Is using the same blog across 8 different website (customized for each client but the same basic information) a duplicate content issue? For example-- a blog about getting your air ducts cleaned... the information is going to be the same (and relevant) with each business and each business could benefit from sharing that information with their customers. Thanks so much for your help and explanation

Is the Page Authority/Rank of my corporate site affected by my blog's PA/PR and vice versa?
If I host my blog on my corporate site (it is a wordpress blog) will the page authority and page rank of my site translate to the blog? And does this also go the other way around? My gut says this would make sense, and I think I have seen it in action with other corporate sites that host their wordpress blogs, but I want to be completely sure. Even better, if someone can explain to me how this works, that would be super helpful!
