Guest Blog
Blogs written by a third-party organization or individual for a website on a specific topic. Guest blogs usually come with the expectation that the writer’s organization is linked and/or mentioned within the article or author biography. This provides a passive benefit for the writer to promote their efforts elsewhere, while also providing relevant information for the site’s readers.
Depending on the policies of the publishing site, the blogs may be subject to editorial review.

301 Redirect
301 redirect refers to a code sent by a website’s hosting server to a browser. In practice, it means you’ll get redirected to a new page when you input the old URL.
For website administrators, 301 redirects shouldn’t be used in excess, but can be a good way to deliver relevant pages to users when the original page has been removed or the content has been merged into another page.
From an SEO perspective, the old page’s ranking will transfer to the new page.

Duplicate Content
Duplicate Content is much like it says, text or elements on the internet that are duplicated elsewhere. Duplicate content within your own website should be monitored and adjusted as needed. If the content is duplicated elsewhere on the internet, search engines will attempt to determine which is the original source, though it’s often best to try to avoid this issue when possible.
