Panda/Penguin & more than one services site in niche

[BobGW]

Hello,

My friend has a personal development training site. I have been advised not to make separate personal coaching sites for the owners of the training sites.

Do you have experience that Panda/Penguin could penalize for separate sites in a similar niche?

Do you need any more info to give a good response?

Thank you.

Are you trying to create a new website for each individual Coach that is listed on your friends website that lists a bunch of different Coaches?

If so then why wouldn't you?

Are you trying to create a second tier of websites to promote the top "Coaching" website for purposes of link manipulation?

If so then make it look like you are creating a website for an individual coach or websites that discuss coaches in a general location.  When I say make it look like this assumes you know what can get you in trouble with a search engine.  If you have to ask what that is you should not attempt this.

We have a training site that sells trainings.

The 2 owners of the training site each also has personal coaching practices.

They want possibly a 2nd and 3rd site on separate domains for promoting their coaching services.

Does that help?
