: Website clones SEO We have cloned our website, meaning we started a new service which is almost identical to the first one. The first one converts videos to mp3, the other one converts them
We have cloned our website, meaning we started a new service which is almost identical to the first one. The first one converts videos to mp3, the other one converts them to mp4.
Recently, we got severely penalized by google, for the remarkable similarity of the sites (that's what we think).
The 2 sites are on different domains and we would like each of them to grow separately from the other.
AFAIK, this is not the case of canonicalization. What can we do to make the search engines see the 2 sites as 2 different entities and not penalize us for having almost identical content on them?
Please give us a few suggestions or tell us about some best practices in this situation!

There is one solution to this problem that is you can change the layout and another thing which can be done is that you can moderately change or modify the content of the site from the another one in such a way that the google bots cannot find them similar in any way.
Changing the layout and modifying the content will help you in resolving the issue. Google bots will only index the content. It is true that using NOINDEX can help if you have many pages in website. Changing CSS will not work.
You must make the site sufficiently different (i.e., specific) as possible. Change the layout, modify the content, etc...
You may mark some pages as NOINDEX while implementing those changes. This should help removing the penalty too.
