    Hi everyone. I have two new news websites which are hyperlocal. One website focuses on a particular location and the other a different one. But i have a category where I can post the same news item in both websites. Like that of sports or entertainment that can be useful in both websites.

    My queries to integrating multisite is two:

    1. Will I lose the content on the websites?
    2. I have heard that search engines might not index the posts. Is it true?

    Thanks in advance

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Neither the use of a multisite nor the tagging of posts in such shared categories leads to any disadvantage in search engines. On the contrary: tagging posts in this way provides additional internal links, which in turn is good fodder for search engines. Whether this happens in a multisite or not is irrelevant, as Google views them as individual websites. Of course, the IP is shared, but that is no longer such a big criterion these days.

    Your challenge will be more about managing the categories across the individual websites. I think there are plugins for that.

    Thanks for your valuable inputs. If feel more confident now. Have already taken the backup of both websites, so will do the needful tonight. Thanks again for your inputs.
