    Hello there

    I have a question..

    Let's have I have loadmove.com registered as an account on a shared hosting company.

    And later on I want to open another site so I place an addon domain and it adds

    forums.loadmove.com/
    +
    loadmove.com/forums/


    However for the new site I have:

    http://www.truckstoptalk.com

    So does it count as a duplicate content?

    and if so what can I do to avoid it yet not spend 200 per month on a dedicated server.

    Ummm... sorry but you really do not understand duplicated content!

    In the first instance all you have done is placed a forum on your site and placed that in a directory called forums. In addition you have made it a subdomain which you use forums as the subdomain. This is the one and same directory, forums, and, this is one and the same site/domain.

    In the second instance you have created a new domain and have used the same shared IP to host it which is a question about C class not duplicated content.

    However if you were to place the SAME content of the first domain onto the second domain then you would have duplicate content, OK? :)

    Just make sure that if you are doing another directory on the same subject that the categories and content are different

    never use duplicate content. Bad SEO...pay money or do it yourself or do a blog or forum...content is king on so many levels

    See the quote that I have of your post here?

    It is the same as your post.

    Now imagine that your post is a webpage on your first site and you take that and create another page [as I have here 'imaginally' with another post the same as your post] anywhere with the same content [copy and paste].

    That is duplicate content.
