Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I just posted this in another thread but believe that it applies here as well.... ======================================== Let me just call this... "logical speculation".... If you chop a domain's content in half and place it on two different websites, you have also just chopped all of the links, likes, mentions, etc in half. If you do that you should expect every ranking everywhere to drop - because you now have less domain authority - you cut it in half. ========================================
