hello,

i create wordpress websites and get some traffic from google. but it takes a lot of times to create a new site: new wordpress install, plugins, themes. now i discovered softaculous wordpress clone system in cpanel.
is this bad for seo?

say i create a new website 1. i install all plugins and 10 themes i want on it. then i clone this new fresh website to new 10 domains. will this 10 domains also be good at google search engine?
all there content will be different. only the install/plugins/themes will be made with the softaculous wordpress clone

thnx,

Robert Charlton

I don't know the plugin, and my worry about it would be not the common site structure so much as the inclination to mass produce sites. Google values unique high-quality content and natural, freely given editorial links. 10 pre-structured sites also suggests a cookie-cutter approach to SEO.

If the content is different, and the sites do not excessively crosslink or get their inbound links from common sources, then you should be OK on the purely mechanical level.

But the common origin and hosting would make any mini-network much easier for Google to spot... and I myself think it might be a challenge to launch that number of independent sites of good quality and to build an audience and the signals needed to attract Google rankings. I think you are probably ignoring that factor.

Additional note... I wouldn't cross-link these sites or connect them at all. YMMV.
