Am I allowed to reblog my posts to my personal blog site?

   Some of the blogs I have put on Hub Pages are ones that I wrote for my personal blog. Of course, I quickly learned that is not allowed and I took them down. My question now is, can I "reblog" them to my personal site now that they are primarily on HubPages to try and direct even more traffic to HubPages since I have nearly 200 followers/subscribers on my personal blog? And over 38000 visitors?

   Technically, yes. But if your ultimate goal is search engine traffic, doing this is counterproductive. Also, if it's the exact same thing, why would your blog readers click to come here? Why not write something related to the posts here and add an internal link to this related article instead?

   I think reblogging would be counterproductive. What you could do is write a short teaser, and then add something like "if you want to read more, go to (whatever the title is)"
   If you just repost the entire article to your blog, no one is going to come here to read it. Also it can be seen as duplicate copy by the search engines and your rankings will fall.
   edit: make sure you add that "whatever the article is" as a hyperlink. All anyone reading your blog has to do is click on it and they will be taken it to that page. if you add it as a title, and not a link, you will not have as many visitors.

   ok, so my thought is that once my content is published here, I make a post on my personal blog with a link only (and the title) to my HP article.  Is that also counterproductive? That is what I've done thus far. I have not monetized my personal blog yet (probably dumb on my part since I had so much traffic the past year blogging about our Savannah cat that was in a clinical drug trial and cured of a lethal disease) That is the bulk of my traffic and follows on my personal site.

   Posting a title, a link and even a couple of descriptive sentences is fine... in fact it’s a good thing .

   I have a blog on WordPress and recently tried to copy a blog post onto hubpages.  It was rejected here on hubpages because it was found elsewhere on the world wide web.
   Even though it was my own blog, I am not allowed to have a written piece anywhere else , if I want to have it on hubpages.

      Here is how I do it when I want to share it also on my blog should people land on it...I change the title and use a different picture, write an excerpt and add the link. If this is not ok, someone please weigh in.http://debraroberts.net/2019/02/packing-for-your-cruise-vacation-organizing-the-small-stuff/

         Deb, What you did is fine, but your hub was moved to wanderwisdom, so you should update that link. It still works because of the 301 redirect, but it’s best to avoid redirects, IMO. It could effect how Google indexes it. By the way, HubPages is not a blogging site. I like to refer to things correctly.

            The widgets Hub provides refer to it as a blogging site. What's the best way to refer to our writings? Thanks!

               What about the other way? Is it possible to reshare any personal blogs on HubPages, just as a way to promote our content?

   Can a non-featured article be republished in another blog, considering that the article has less chance of it getting featured on HubPages?
   
   I couldn't find a near match for the answer when researched this topic in the FAQ section.
   
   Please advise. Thanks.

      Yes. You can do what you like with your articles They belong to you.
      
      It's the other way around which is problematical. All content here must be original, but once published, you are free to publish elsewhere. If it is successful here, it's not a good idea. But if unfeatured or not doing well, then you can do what you like with it.

         Thanks for the clarification.
         
         Further, in that case, will my non-featured post be flagged as duplicate content (in Hubpages), since it has been posted elsewhere also?
         
         Please advise as I am not sure about it.
         
         Thanks.

            Yes, it will be flagged as copied content. But HubPages won't penalise you for it.
