It is so hard to run a mirror site. I generally promote the mirror site differently. Often I will do as little as change the template we use. For example, the main site [team-mp3.com], and its' mirror site [netins.net]. The content is the same, but the template is different. Both sites have been successfully indexed in search engines without the appearance of spam - (although the isp site always ranks higher).

That is the proto type we use when doing other mirrors.
- always try to change something in both the html and the content.
- often a something as little as printing the url of the page.
- try to change filenames or path directory (I don't always do this).

If you make those little changes, the se can't determine it is a mirror site. Combined with the visual differences of a separate template, and it even looks like a different site should you be hand surfed by an se spam checker.
