Changing Essays to Blog posts on the site

So I started messing with it and have taken 2 essays and made them into already published blogs. I tried to schedule them in the future, and it simply yielded a 404 error.

2 questions, if you don't mind... 1, I've been randomly choosing a previous date and having it publish then (obviously it publishes immediately, but it says published on Dec 28, 2016, for example. Is that a problem? And 2, even if I put 301 and scheduled it for a later date, on something that has yet to publish as a blog, would I get a duplicate content penalty as it was once published and indexed by the search engines when it was an essay?

I'm using the exact same URLs for all of them and am only doing this to clean up my landing page from the 49 drop down essays that scroll down the page when you hit the essays button on the menu.

Thanks in advance for your help!

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
