RE: Introducing Brand New Community - Hive SEO

in Hive SEO4 years ago (edited)

You can post the same thing on different websites. It depends actually what you want. If you're going to drive traffic to your main website, then definitely yes, you can. But first, post it on your main website.
Like if you want to rank Leofinance, post it on Leofinance at first. And then post it on Hive blog and make sure you add a canonical tag that tells Google which content is the original content.

So the point is, focus on one website. Google isn't likely going to rank the same content from 2 different websites. It's going to pick the original one. It's not going to give any benefit to other websites where you posted after the original one.

Technically the second website isn't going to get a penalty, duplicate content can still sometimes impact search engine rankings.

OK, I know what you mean, but I think you don't understand what I ask. I can post in LeoFinance (for example). But, the same post is also (no need to post again) viewed on peakD, Hive.blog, Ecency, etc..

Well, I got it now. Honestly, it's hard to explain because my post will be posted on other Dapps (like peakD, Hive blog, Ecency, etc.) at the same time. And I never experienced anything like this in the digital marketing world. Because everyone just posts on their blog/website at first, then on the other blog.

My explanation -

The search engine looks for duplicate content and usually takes the first one (where you posted first) to rank and completely ignores other sites. Sometimes Google picks the site with the best ranking; it's rare, though.

And Google is not going to penalize other websites for duplicate contents unless it's copyrighted. It won't affect the SEO of other websites - they won't just get any organic traffic from the search engine for that content.

Here's is an example for you. This is the same content that you'll find on Ecency and other Dapps as well. But it ranked Hive Blog on Google (4th number at this moment) with the keyword "earn cryptocurrency by writing." It didn't rank Ecency or other Dapps as I focused on rank the Hive Blog with this keyword.

But it won't affect Ecency or other Dapps. They won't just get any traffic from search engines. That's it!

I hope I've answered your question. I believe there are some SEO experts in the chain, who can explain better. Thanks a lot. :)

Thank you for your answer. Yes, that's what I was wondering too, I didn't go into it looking at the same posts on the rankings but apparently, it's not a problem. It's interesting though, it occurs in systems where websites pull content from the same database. In our case, the Hive blockchain database.
