      Hello,

      In one of our niches, we have a big site with all products and a couple more sites that are smaller niches of the same niche.

      The product descriptions are different with different product names.

      Is this OK. We've got one big site and 2 smaller subsides in different niches that cross over with the big site.

      Let me know if Google is OK with this.

      We will have a separate blog for each with completely different content. There's not really duplicate content issues and although only the big site has a blog right now, the small ones eventually will have their own unique blog.

      Is this OK in Google's eyes now and in the future? What can we do to ensure we are OK?

      Thank you.

        There's no problem here if they're all completely separate sites and all have completely unique content.

        Assuming both are correct, it's not really any different to having competitor websites in the same niche.

          This sound like a completely fine idea from the search engine optimization stands point. I mean Google can’t ban you for selling the same product on two different websites J

          Good Luck with that!
