Hey Guys,

I had bought two new same "exact match" domain names with different TLD that is .info and .org.uk, probably a month ago.

I had about the same content on both of them and did all the on-page optimization on both. Both sites got index by google and I got the .org.uk to rank on page 4 within a few weeks, mainly cause of the easy keyword I think. The .info domain didn't rank anywhere.

But now for the past few couple of days, my site for .org.uk is not ranking at all. It seems like it has disappeared from the search engine. The sites still comes up when I enter the url in google search but can't find it anywhere for the keyword. I find this strange cause the .org.uk domain was on page 4. The content on both the site is service related and has no affiliate links or banners.

Has anyone experience anything similar? Shall I change the content for the .info, do you think its possibly because of the same content and they are fairly new sites?

Btw the only reason I had two domain is I wanted to blast the .info like crazy to test and see what works.

Thanks,
Ken

sorry to push this thread up guys but has anyone experience anything similar.. I am a newbie seo and am curious to know..

Thanks

Duplicate content is bad for ranking try adding different content on each site. Do not interlink between both sites if they are on same ip. Try to create web2.0 blogs with spun content and links to your main site and blast web2.0 if you want to.

Sounds like a google dance to me. My site has 100% original content and it disappeared while I was link building. Not heavy link building either, just normal link building.

After three days it came back.

Thanks for your replies. With regards to duplicate content, I just changed all the content on one for the sites today.. I haven't interlinked them two sites but they are on the same shared hosting accounts. I will see if the site shows up in a few days, either way I will update on here so others don't make the same mistake as me..

Thanks..

Once you change the content, give it time. It will surely get picked up by google soon.
