When the contacts and other signs of the same owner are completely identical on websites with the same subject matter, the search engine recognizes the resources as affiliated and imposes sanctions on them in the form of partial or complete exclusion from search results. The similarity of different Internet pages can be expressed by the same information about the company, the presence of links to each other, a matching catalog and set of products, identical information on external resources, etc.
The main goal of creating such copies is the desire of the owners to occupy several positions in the TOP at once and get as many clients as possible. However, affiliated sites will not be shown in search results for the same query. This problem can be avoided if affiliates:
- promote for different queries;
- have different topics;
- sell in different regions.
How to get rid of the affiliate filter?
This filter works automatically, and sanctions are also removed automatically. In most cases, it will be enough for you to completely change the contact information, make the content unique, and carry out activities aimed at reindexing the resource.
A scenario is also possible when even the above actions will not lead to a result. Then you will have to buy a domain with new registration data to prove that the site is not involved in an affiliate network. In this case, promotion on the new domain will be carried out again, which will affect a longer exit to the TOP-10.
If you are still going to create copies of the site, before starting the promotion, make sure that all possible signs of affiliation are eliminated, and there are no violations.
