Duplicate content affected 2 websites - trying to rectify

by @me2servic3s (206), 6 months ago

Hey everyone.

I have 2 websites both related to the same niche.

Whenever I posted a blog post about something, I would carefully paraphrase the same content and post it on the other website but used the same images.

It came to my attention that after a while, google only indexed one of my websites for each post/subject.

When I read and researched about it, I concluded that "duplicate content" is the reason due to the fact that I have used same images on both websites.

Now, to rectify that:

I want to recreate the same content again, completely different articles with genuine images for each website.

When I do that, what should I do with old posts? can I redirect 301 each post of a website to it's new version?

Yes, you can permanently redirect the old articles to the new ones.

Thank you

So if I use 301 redirect of the old post which is not indexed on search engine to an entirely new post of the same subject on a website, does the old post not bring negative effect to the new one?

I mean it was not indexed for a reason. If I create a new unique post, redirecting the old post which is not indexed wont be bad?

No, it won't be bad as you are thinking.
