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

Onsite Blogging Vs Guest Blogging
Hey all! I have a limited amount of time allocated to writing instructional blog posts for my company. When I complete an article I can do whatever I want with it: pitch it as a guest post on an industry blog, or post it on my company's onsite blog. I know there's not a magical solution regarding the percentage of time one should devote to guest blogging v. focusing on the company blog, but I figured I'd throw the conundrum out to the Mozzers anyway. In your opinion, how many of your writing resources should be devoted to guest posts, and how many should be devoted to maintaining the onsite blog? What if our onsite blog isn't currently receiving a lot of traffic? Thanks! Meg

Best way to avoid duplicate content issues here.
I am planning to write an article that refutes some claims made in another article. The original article is a 20 page pdf. What I plan to do is to take quotes from this PDF and then under each quote write my arguments for or against the quote. If I take direct quotes from the article, is Google likely to see this as duplicate content?
