Will Google ding you for duplicate content posting of the big stories on two domains?
- Eric Johnson
Dwight and others: Great advice. What's holding me back is SEO. And the comment about Google dinging me for cross posting is definitely valid. Maybe I will make the move, redirect the feed and leave the old site up for archives. Thoughts?

im thinking about doing the same with Posterous..

Posterous' lack of URL redirection might make the move tough for SEO. If you import a blog does it keep the same URLs? Right now Posterous doesn't have any other way of specifying them...
- Eric Johnson
@Eric good points.. And no - there is no way to modify Posterous URL's after import

interesting stuff. is email posting actually easier than using the various tools the sites produce? I don't think the duplicate content thing will be an issue for Google - but your new site probably won't get the credit for the content.

I recently switched my personal blog over to Posterous because I just wasn't updating it enough (I'm doing most of my blogging time and effort goes into Expand2Web.) What I like about Posterous is that it is super easy to take photos/videos on my iPhone and email them to my account while I'm on the go. I can post "lifestyle" things easily rather than planning out an entire blog post.
