Awesome, makes way more sense now - Thanks a ton for all your help!!!

The excerpt makes sense - should excerpts have authorship assigned to it?

We have a few informational blog posts that are valuable to some readers. We have posted them in our blog but were contemplating posting them on 3rd party blogging websites such as Blogger, Squidoo, etc.. Ideally we would continue to maintain these accounts with multiple blog posts, but would all be reposts of the original blog.

These are not half english blog posts just hoping to gain a better Google rank. They will provide value to the readers who might not be finding their way to our website directly.

Is posting these blog posts on the 3rd party websites, linking back to the original article and maybe some products that are related to the specific document going to negatively affect our rankings due to the duplication of the content?

Awesome, thank you very much!!

I have an e-commerce site currently selling in Canada and am now looking to branch it into the USA.

We have both the .ca and .us domain names, but I am not sure what the best approach to this would be. If we put up a website on the .us domain name it would be virtually the same.. So I would assume we would have a duplicate content issue.

What would be the best way to approach this type of situation?

Yeah it makes sense, thanks!!!!

I have run in to a situation on an e-commerce store where products from a certain manufacturer require a fairly large chunk of corporate information to be posted underneath the product description: I.E. Trademark information, etc.

This information happens to be close to half the size of the product description information. Am I at risk of getting hit negatively for this portion of text duplicated across multiple products? I was considering putting a link to a separate informational page with this information but am not sure if it even matters?

What are your recommendations brilliant SEO'erz?

That is exactly what we decided to do, the only thought (in my mind) is we'll working on two sites now (the switch will be approx Jan 2014) which seems a little redundant.

Thanks a bunch for everyones input!

Thanks for your reply! So do you believe that Google will see the 302 redirects negatively? We were hoping to create links to specific product pages.

Your solution is viable, but we wont get the advantages of the link on the current site in the mean time? Maybe this is just something we can't do?

I have a website of which we are being forced to change the domain name and soon after give the control of the domain name to the corporate office. The corporate office will eventually put a new website up on it.

We would like to build more backlinks without the threat of losing all of these backlinks to the corporate site. We were  considering to start building backlinks to the new domain with temporary redirects to the old domain but have recently been advised against doing this (threat of Google looking down on this technique). Should we continue to build back links to the old domain, or should we 302 redirect the links to the old domain?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
