      I would like to post my newsletters on my blog, but am afraid of duplicate content since you can click a link on the MailChimp email blast to view the Newsletter online. Is this considered dup content?

        I checked with MailChimp and it is not indexed.

          If the content is viewable on the mailchimp database, and is set to index then yes it could hurt you.

          I highly doubt this is the case. Most likely the content is not set to index, and you should be able to post it on your site without an issue. Might even help, since users might search for that exact subject after receiving your email. Make sure to add in authorship info so Google can tell yours is the original article, not any others if there are any.

            To piggyback on what scodtt wrote:

            If we send out a mail campaign and plan on putting the same content in a blog post, then we change the link found in the header of the email to go to the blog post and not the page they create:

            Email not displaying correctly?
            View it in your browser.

            Hit Edit on that portion then edit the link to go to your blog post.

              It could potentially be a problem if the newsletter has a link that is something like "view this email as a web page" and that link is searchable.

              My suggestion is that you post the content on your blog first, and then create a link to it in the email so that it's clear that this is an email version of something that appeared originally on your blog. Then there's a chance that MailChimp link will be seen as a duplicate of your blog, but that's much better than your blog being seen as a duplicate of something else.

                Nope, you are fine.

                Duplicate content = 2+ copies of the same text on 2+ separate indexable URLs

                  Does google penalize you if you post content in french and english on a website

                  I'm trying to encourage content editors to only  post content in either English or French. For example we have a French press release but the team are wanting it on our site in French and English.  I thought this would fall under duplicate content rules. Does google penalize you if you post content in French and English on a website?

                  Does posting frequency matter?

                  Right now my company is blogging five days a week, which is way more than our competitors and most other companies do. Back last September, we dropped our blogging frequency to once a week or so, and our organic conversions dropped. I had ascribed that to the drop in our blogging frequency, but now I have my doubts: maybe it was a rise in competition, or part of a larger drop that has been going for over a year and a half. My question to you is: what has been your experience when your posting frequency (or your clients' posting frequency) has dropped? Have you seen a drop in rankings, or have you held fast? Many thanks in advance.

                  References for Healthcare Blog Content?

                  Hey everyone, We have a couple B2C medical/healthcare clients we produce content for and I was wondering what the industry stance is when it comes to giving references at the end of a blog, assuming there were no statistics or direct quotes used in the content. A lot of our content is written via research on a specific condition/treatment and doesn't really dive deep into specific medical nuances. Things like risks, recovery timelines, questions to ask, etc. are written about mostly. Still, should we be providing general references at the end of blogs to sites like WebMD, Medscape, etc. Thanks for any input!

                  I have a site that is running its blog on www.blog.xyz.com and I am looking for ways to increase Google traffic. Would it be better to running the blog on something like: www.xyz.com/blog instead?

                  Recommendations on the URL Structure When Posting Blogs

                  Sites are adopting different URL structures for posting blogs (examples below). Quicksprout ( www.domain.com/dateposted/blogposttitle) Moz (www.domain.com/blog/blogposttitle) SEO Book (www.domain.com/blogposttitle) What do you recommend?

                  Duplicate external links?

                  I have been guest posting at a variety of reputable blogs in my niche.  I generally write once or twice a month and have a bio link with a link to my blog.  I'm wondering if multiple links from the same domain (but different pages) helps, or if there are some diminishing returns here. Should I only be writing one post for them? Of course, there are other non-SEO benefits too, because these are reputable sites.  But I'm wondering how this helps my SEO? Thanks in advance!

                  Changing the author of a post

                  Hi, I've a number of wordpress posts that were written by different authors, and I want to merge them into a single author. If Google sees that originally the post was rel authored to person A and later we change the author reference to person B, will Google see this as suspicious in any way? Or does it not matter, as long as it's only attributed to a single author at any one time? Thanks, Leigh

                  Simple question: How many words optimal for blog posts

                  Hello, We're adding a blog to one of our sites. How many words should be in a blog post for it to be optimal for the search engines? If it varies from industry to industry, please give a couple of examples. We were going to do 500 words but that seems a bit long. Thanks!
