I've been learning the hard way about how many sites I'm permitted to launch. It's been a hard lesson. I'm still struggling with this concept however. Here's the problem. One person with multiple sites similar content = spam. Different people with the same site content = not spam. I am correct on this? However, if one of my websites is "cheap blue shoes" and my other domain is "leather blue shoes", the search engine shouldn't display them on the same page should they? A person searching "cheap blue shoes" shouldn't get back websites about "leather blue shoes" in theory. I just can't grasp where the line is drawn in terms of what is acceptable. What is spamdexing and what the heck isn't? When you type in "cheap red shoes", aren't you asking Google to spam you with websites with "cheap red shoes"? If you got a bunch of sites that were "expensive red shoes" instead, wouldn't that be spam instead? My point is, you want results based on what you asked for. You aren't going to or shouldn't get a bunch of unrelated websites correct? That defeats the purpose of a search engine correct? Therefore, I'm just asking, what exactly is spamdexing? I get it, but at the same time I don't get it. I just see people throwing around the word "spam" loosely.
in theory 2 sites can be on the same results page if both site are about 'blue shoes' because there is enough keyword density (2 out of 3 words is close enough). so nothing wrong with that in my opinion...
