Hi Everybody. I have a large site that is made up of the main site then a large support site. The support site has a lot of overlapping content and similar titles. Would it be beneficial to separate the two? Thank you. All answers appreciated.

You may want to consider bringing your support under a subdomain of your website. This will not really create a complete separation of your site(s) but will resolve your duplicate url issue.

There is a tendency these days to work with folders, rather than subdomains. In this case I would suggest the subdomain though. (example: www.mywebsite.com as your main site and support.mywebsite.com as your subdomain.

Hi Peter.

Thanks for your response.

There is a sub domain in place at the moment, like you suggested.

From a SEO stand point would it be better to have the whole thing separate because I've run a few SEO checks and I'm wondering is it having a negative effect on my main site down even though it is a sub domain.
