    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

                Franchise-Like Duplicate Sites

                I know that ideally businesses that operate as franchises should have 1 site with separate location pages. However, I have a slightly different issue. Each location is owned by a different parent company, and named accordingly. For example, there is "Location by XYZ Company" and "Location by ABC Company." In addition, each location, while carrying similar products, does not carry the same exact products and brands. So my question is how would you go about writing the content for each of these sites, keeping the same tone but avoiding duplicate content?

                Is it okay to delete old blog posts?

                Hi All, I'm doing some SEO work on an entertainment (movies/tv/gaming) blog that started in 2011. Their recent articles have gained some popularity due to improved content and marketing, but there is some old stuff from the early days that was poorly written and gets virtually no traffic. These are mostly old news pieces. Out of approximately 10,000 articles, about 1,000 are receiving the lions share of the traffic. I feel like their good content is getting bogged down in a sea of crap. Would there be any harm in deleting some of those old posts? Is there a best practice for culling content? Thanks!

                Best place for a blog blog.mydomain.com or mydomain.com/blog

                We have used blogs on a good number of client sites and always got good results from having them. However do you feel its best to have a blog as a subdomain or included in the site ie blog.mydomain.com or mydomain.com/blog

                Can you use creative commons non-commercial images on a company blog?

                Does anyone know if it is okay to use creative commons images on your company blog if they are under the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 Generic license. Technically you are using it on a commercial site, but you are not directly making money from the image or selling it.
