Duplicate content on a sub domain

[Nettitude]

I have two domains www.hairremoval.com and a sub domain www.us.hairromoval.com both sites have virtual the same content apart from around 8 pages and  the sub domain is more focused to US customers so the spelling are different, it is also hosted in the states. Would this be classed as duplicate content ? (The url’s are made up for the question but the format is correct)

Hi Paul,

Yes they would. Duplicate is duplicate, no matter where it's hosted. Depending on just how Google see this, you may find one sites doesn't get ranked well, or perhaps both. I have seen both scenarios.

Using alternate hreflang tags may help...

I realize that they are both in English but if one is proper English while the other is American English this could be helpful...
