Will google penalize me for having same content on 2 blogs

Hi firnds.we had created a blog on blogspot.com for our website.(100percentile.blogspot.com) and after 3 months now we hav created another blog (blog.100percentile.com). Since our main blog is up and running now, do we need to delete posts from the blogspot blog. The same posts are showing at both places and that can cause penalty in Google rankings due to duplicate content.? please help me

 

It is not recommended to have identical content on two sites. Instead of completely removing them, you may consider para-phrasing or re-writing!!

 

now i dont want to continue with blogger.com anymore. so should I remove my posts from blogger and post there link of my new blog?

 

YES
remove all old blog content and focus on your new site only

promote your new site/blog by submitting to all blog directories and RSS directories
then after a short while your traffic might be higher than ever before.

if you want to get the best out of SE's then you also may want to offer the best code to all SEs
hence a code error correction

might definitely help you to succeed much more in web publishing.
some of the errors you have right now are critical errors - critical for full parsing of pages by SEs!!!

 

you have use the same content then are penalized your blogs

you have create many blogs but using different content then you getting google ranking

 

thank you so much .

 

If you have duplicate content, Google may decide to ignore one copy, perhaps even on a paragraph by paragraph basis.

 

If i have duplicate content but one on free blog ( blogger ) and another one on free wordpress. Google will ban both blog or not!

 

Since you can't do a 301 on blogspot, my best recommendation would be to leave the old posts, but edit them and add a prominent link on each page pointing to the blog post on the new site.

Google will not ban both (it might throw one into the supplemental pages), and in this way you'll be able to save some of the pagerank given to your old blog pages, as well as transfer real-world traffic to the new blog.

 

I agree with Bogo, it's not a good idea to have 2 blogs with the same content, google
will not ban you for this but it may hurt your rankings in the serp.

 

"The same posts are showing at both places and that can cause penalty in Google rankings due to duplicate content.?

Yes, this is duplicate content and google don't like it at all.

I suggest you 301 redirect the old blog to new blog; But in your case, the old blog is blogspot blog, not sure but I think we can't do a 301 redirect on blogspot blog.

 

Have your blogspot address redirect visitors to your new link.

 

not yet, bcoz ithnk we cant use 301 redirect on blogger, so what should i do? should i post a new post on blogger about my new blog? i mean to say i will post a post on blogger saying our blog is now moved to blog.100percentile.com will this help?

 

If you just copy / paste the content, the new site won't be indexed because of the duplicate content filter.

 

You may be penalize by Google, it is better you for go the blogsport.com or you re-write the content for the new blog. Good luck

 

It will not penalize you, it will rank just the the first site to appear with this content Hey, Are you trying to take two spots in google results? What's the use for the visitor? It would be spamming the net in Google's eyes

 

rohit_tripathi60,

Interesting some of the feedback here. I certainly dont agree with it all, but that is why we have opinions.

I suppose the best answer is 'it depends', and i will elucidate.

If you are getting lots of traffic to blogspot and that traffic is making you alot of money, for heaven sake, I wouldnt just delete all the content. It is also understood that you can not do a permanent redirect, and therefore the traditional solution is not applicable.

If you are not getting lots of money from the traffic, I suppose it does not matter too much as there will only be a delay of a month or two, and people can live without information that long.

Assuming it is making you alot of money........do not delete it. I am also assuming you can not edit the meta tags to noindex the content, nor deal with a robots.txt file (but using the meta noindex may be a solution?).

The best solution is to add new content to the new site.........and manage both. And let the visitors to blogspot know about the move as previously mentioned.

Assuming that can not be done.......

and your only choice is to keep it or delete it on blogspot, period.

Promote the second, new blog site aggressively. Let all your subscribers know about it, and push traffic to that second blog site as much as possible, whether it be paid or otherwise. Use traditional organic seo methods, and build reviews/links to the blog, and continue to do so every month.

Google will probably detect duplicate content eventually.......it will keep the stronger site, the site with more fresh content, the site that is growing over time...........

Since you didnt delete the original site, if it wins initially, it isnt lost.

That is about the best advice i can give........

altho some may tell you that you may get banned or penalized........and that is their right to voice........I am saying that both sites will not, one will prevail, and my advice is the best....biased as it may be. I can not see both sites being permanently removed from the index, and balancing all the possibilities, I see no better solution.

 

Why would it be a problem? As long as the two pages don't have the same URL ?

 

I tend to agree with whoisbambam.

I'm no Google expert and its only my opinion. I had the same dilemma. I had a blogspot blog and now I'm hosting the same information on a new WordPress blog under my own domain. At first I made a notation on each blog entry pointing them to the new blog and the corresponding entry. I later deleted the original posts from the blogspot account.

Then, I thought about it for a while. Since I'm adding new content on a fairly regular basis to my new blog and have informed visitors at my old blog that the blog has moved to a new location, why forfeit my old traffic? So what if some of my blog is duplicate? I'm adding lots of new original good content. So, I went back to the blogspot blog and put all of the old content back on blogspot. Visitors will eventually notice that there isn't any new content (hopefully) and go to the new blog.

Now, I'm getting my old hits and income from the old blog and am generating links and income to the new blog. I've gone back and redirected the backlinks that I had control of and left those that I couldn't control.

It will take a bit for the search engines to catch up, but at least I'm still getting traffic to the old blog.

I guess only time will tell if I did the right thing.

 

Either delete the content from one blog or rewrite the stuff on one of blog
