Duplicate Content after a Business Merger - How to Handle?

So this is kind of an odd situation - I’ve got a client that bought out another business and reposted all of that business’ blog content on their new site. However, the business they bought out is still keeping their original site live for some reason, so now that content is being hosted verbatim on two different sites.

Here’s the interesting wrinkle - I am confident I could get access to the site that got bought out since the client still has their login credentials. But what’s the best way to handle this? Just unpublish the content from the original site? Remove the copy and replace it with a link to the new site and treat them like backlinks?

This is the first time I’ve run into a duplicate content scenario where the client owns both sites and the defunct one is still being kept around, so I’m not sure if there any unique opportunities to take advantage of here.

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
