Duplicate posts on two HubSpot Blogs

[cbalhorn]

In the blogs section on HubSpot, users have the opportunity to create multiple blogs. My company uses one blog for Website A and one for Website B. Before Website B was created, we had published some of its blog posts on Website A. When Website B was created, we republished all posts of a certain category on Website B and set up redirects for them from Website A.

Question: If blog posts are published on two different blogs on HubSpot but redirected to one, does SEO suffer as it’s duplicate content? Or do the redirects cover that issue? Data point: HubSpot shows different metrics for these posts depending on which blog you look at them through.

When you use an content in one blog that not is unique (is copy), you need to configure the Canonical URL for not to be penalized.

Clique to edit you post, go to “Settings > Advanced”, and insert the URL Canonical (URL of original content). Look:
