Question about blogging and SEO?

[Charles]

The company I work for has a blog. One is attached to the website (wordpress), and the other is on Google Blogger. We have been posting the same exact material on both since people preferred both formats.

Is this hurting our SEO by having duplicate content?

If so and I should remove one, which should it be?

Thank you for your time!

Yes, it is hurting you to have duplicate content. If you decide to remove one you should probably ask yourselves some questions, such as: Is one getting more traffic than the other? Which one is easiest to use? Does one offer more features than the other? Is there any benefit in keeping both blogs? Are there other reasons that keeping two blogs is not feasible?
Maybe you could re-write the content a little so that it is not duplicate? Some may suggest spinning your content, which many people do, but I have never found a content spinner any where near as good as a real person doing re-writes.
Good luck!

No it does not... I am a marketer (amongst other things) and It's often said that Google has a problem with duplicate content only when it's been posted on the same domain as the original (in the good old days the original would be repeatedly spun and posted on different pages of the same site to pad it out so to speak) as some sort of a scam involving adsense. If duplicate content was for real then all the article content sights would have been de-indexed years ago leaving just one and the same goes for news sights which carry identical press releases... I rest my case....
