Knowledge base for seo, announcing new articles on blog (dupe content)

[mdkay]

Hi all,

Im thinking of creating a knowledge base with all many asked questions in my company. This could be a great Link-bait source but also nice ranking opportunities i think.

But sometimes some new articles are so actual that i also want to blog them. 
Can i for example double post them (or post a big excerpt) on the blog and canonicalise it to the KB article?
Will links to the blog have equal value to KB links? And will this work?

That's the route to go.

I don't see anything wrong in this approach unless you're using the canonical tag. But for KB, I'd suggest to structure in a way that, it's not seems to be the page full of links.. Rather, write 3-4 unique lines with every link. In this way, your KB will look more powerful, credible and because of fresh content the chances of getting it ranked will increase.

Hope this helps!

Yes, you're giving the answers already yourself. Lucky you! Indeed use a canonical tag to point back to the original articles either on the blog or the knowledge base.
