Duplicate content on another country to get more ads?

[Rusty_P]

I've read this post
[webmasterworld.com...]

but I dont get it.

Let's say that I own the magazine widgets.co.uk and to me it's hard to get ads on UK so I plan to run widgets.com for USA, with someone there, were I can get more ads. Not to talk about Adsense.

I can use another name like best-stuff.com (I don't know yet for sure if it's a good idea to use the same one) but let's say that about 80% of the content will be the same on the 2 sites.

Is it a bad idea?

What should I do?

Thank you,

So, should I close and move the business abroad?
