New professional blog; should I redirect from my personal blog, or leave content both places? - If a page has internal and external outgoing links to redirecting URLs, it’s returning 3xx (301, 302, etc.) HTTP status codes standing for redirection.

However, there are some steps you can take to ensure the issue isn’t on your side. You can find more details about redirecting URLs by reading the Google Search Central overview. In this article, we’ll go over how you can fix the New professional blog; should I redirect from my personal blog, or leave content both places? error on your web browser. Problem :

I've been an on-and-off (mostly off) blogger for years, mixing personal interest and professional topics on a personal blog.

I've recently created a new professional website where I duplicated the old posts related to my profession.

Should I remove the duplicated blog posts from my personal blog, with a redirect to the professional blog?

Or can/should I perhaps add some meta tags, on the personal blog, that tell search engines that the authoritative version lives at my new professional blog?

My ideal scenario would be to leave the personal blog alone, but to have search engines direct to the professional blog for the posts that exist on both the places. But I'm not sure if this is possible, or if there are any drawbacks that I haven't considered.

Solution :

Removing the content altogether will be a loss of the SEO and rankings gained by the pages throughout the lifetime of the content.

Instead of removing it, you can set up canonical tags on the copied content pages to point towards the pages with the original content.
