The general consensus is to have the content on your blog and post a "teaser" on AR with a "for the full article click here" link.

Reasons:

You want the traffic driven to your site so those readers say "He's smart, I want him to be my agent."
If you post the same exact content on multiple sites, google gets to decide which one is the original and discounts the other one. Chances are, your site will get screwed in that deal.

You can post a link to your AR blog but Market Leader now has its own blogging platform so write something similar (not exact) and add links to the other.

It depends on what your goal is for your market leader site. Are you using your market leader site for SEO, organic search or for paid search? Market leader now has community pages so you can build out your community page. But if you are using your ML site for SEO and organic traffic, then you link from your AR site to your ML site for a boost in SEO but not the other way around. Katerina
