I'd appreciate some advice.

I did a site for a client of mine let's say it's abcbaseball.net. A couple of months later, she bought a competitor's domain name, let's say abcbaseballshop.com. Unbeknown to me, while the transfer of ownership was taking place, she asked the old owner to put up duplicate copy of her site of the domain she'd just bought.

I've advised her that she's going to get dinged in the SE's (she didn't know that) so now she is asking: is it enough to change just the main page on one of the sites so it's got new and different content, or does she really have to change the content on all of the pages on the new domain?

I'm guessing that the SE's aren't stupid and will evenutally figure out that the subsequent pages are the same, and then, she'll get dinged!

Thanks
Michael

Well I had always thought that dupe content filters were a lot more strict than they actually are...

But regardless of the chances of a filter penalizing the site, if the back pages are the same the site wouldn't pass a review submitted from spam report.

She should put unique content on the second domain.

Similar thing happened to one of my clients. Only difference is he bought a new Domain. In his case the new domain home page got a grey bar. Unique content on all pages is the best way to go. HTH.
