Can I post my MailChimp articles on my blog without getting hit for duplicate content?
-
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
