Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Lynn, Yes many thanks it does, as with Matt I am doing the same as him but will of course make sure only the products are the same and change the store information descriptions, currencies etc. Luckily enough I am starting fresh with 3 stores, one here in the UK, one in Germany and the other in Poland but all from a UK server. Cheers!

Hi Highland, Thanks for responding to this I totally agree links are more powerful than where you are hosted, my concern is that having them altogether on the one platform (Magento) will affect the rankings in the sense that they won't be able to build up the same amount of domain authority. The way Magento is set up you can host them on the different IP's and that would get rid of the hosting issue, but do you think it would affect SEO if they all were on the same platform (Magento) sharing the same store and having different content and Meta data etc? I can't find any information about anyone who has tried it and had success with it from an SEO stand point. I appreciate your input and help Highland
