I ran an experiment two websites same content here what I found

So I have a domain that is registered since 2021 DA 16 and fair amount of backlinks

On the root domain I run a store with /gaming is a gaming blog. I noticed I am not getting ranked anymore, especially after the disaster that hit my website in December, 20 days offline.

Now to test I copied all the files exactly the same, "It is hosted using docker" and I pointed a new domain that I was parking to the container to try things out. Keep in mind the domain is .red not even .com

Couple of weeks go by what is my findings:

1- Of course it will not jump in visits or no where near, but I find it to start picking up some engagement

2- The new website is ranking where to old one is not and even if I say TITLE "NAME OF WEBSITE" nothing shows up. I have to add .com. Checking search console it says URL on Google and indexed fine

3- Old website show up in Google as "TITLE" and new website shows up as "TITLE - Website Name"

My questions are:

What could be causing this?

Should I be scared of cannibalizing my other domain or just run with a new one? I am so invested in the old store, blog, Social pages, etc

Any idea to how to fix this issue?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
