Blog Post Updates vs Keyword Blog Posts

Hey guys, first time posting here!

I'm running into a potential keyword cannibalization issue on my site.

I create weekly blog posts that serve as more of an update on what the company has been up to, but also offer sales links.

I also have a bunch of product pages that I'm trying to rank for, for specific keywords.

When I go to write the weekly blog post update, I have the option of optimizing it for keywords in Yoast (I use WordPress). However, any of the keywords I would choose, that the blog post covers, are keywords I already may try to rank for on the product pages, or be ranking already.

I feel as though I may be missing an opportunity to rank my blog posts if I don't optimize my blog post updates for keywords. They offer a lot of value and see solid traffic.

Is it a bad idea to try to rank for the same keywords I may have on other pages of my site in these blog posts? Should I disregard any keyword optimization for these blog posts entirely and just keep it to the product landing pages?

If anyone has run into this, I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

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
