Hi Steve, I'm not an SEO expert but have learned over the years that content that is presented in identical fashion on two sites is a bad thing, and that the second website indexed will be punished for it.
The thinking is that some folks tried to game the system by making thousands of identical websites with identical content, in order to overload the top of the list for their chosen keywords. Their plan was to make sure ALL links on the first page went to one of their websites, even if all of them were the same. I'd reconsider republishing content from one site to another - or move the content from one to the other before the next index from googlebot. Maybe another Steve from Atlanta would like to weigh in? -- Mitch On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 7:21 PM, Steven Wang<[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > I have a site melanomapictures.org that was listed as #8 on google search.
