How will we SEO work if our blog posts are pointed to our primary domain knowledge base?
Hello,
we have one primary site "A" that has our knowledge base. We want to increase our traffic to site "B". We know that creating new content is important, but all new content is being added to "kb.A".com. So we post it to Site B.com, and it forwards on to the knowledge base article on kb.A.com.
Does Google see it as fresh content even though its forwarded, or is it imperative that we have a fresh content actually hosted on site B?
Thanks for your help

Thanks, I think you guys are answering the question.
B has titles, that forwards to our primary site A articles, but the knowledge base is actually kb.A.com. Hope that makes sense.
Basically though, it sounds like we need to have content on both sites to get the rankings we need for both sites. Site A is our primary company name and profile, Site B is a sister company.

You will want to keep the companies separate and also avoid duplicate content.

One suggestion would be to "pull" SEO value from Site A by linking keywords to content created on Site B.
Spending time focusing on the keywords you want Site B to rank on and devising a content strategy accordingly is a good idea.
Content should be lengthy enough to not be considered "thin" or around 300 words or more.

You need original content on Site B.
Assuming the content on Site A is truly original content and was posted on Site "A" first then Google will consider site "A" as having the Original content and Site "B" as having duplicate content.
Assuming Google performs as expected someone searching for content that is Original on Site A will see search results with Site A listed first with a link to site A listed first and most likely right below it another search result listing Site B's link.
So assuming all that I say above happens in the "real world" it is possible the search person will click on The first link -- Site A --and not site B link.
Anyway that is my response to your question.
Let's see what others here have to say😊
