yeh content is not same, they are not that much fool either. More or less the 2 domains are used to gain search rankings and have nothing to do with protecting brand identity by registering all related domains...
Personally I don't see the site doing too much wrong. At worst they're a bit naive when it comes to duplicate content.
I believe it was done on purpose, but I don't see much benefit from it at all. Google seems to switch back and forth between domains when ranking for relevance.
dear i know what exactly is spam but what we are debating here is that its more or less a spam. Nobody is that much fool these days to follow a complete spam. Its more or less about how to fool search engines and gain search traffic by hook or crook. So if its not a spam it means u make 2 mirror websites and just change the content a bit....its not a spam. Am i right??
