Bir şirkete ait iki web sitem var. Biri Birleşik Krallık’ta .co.uk alan adına sahip, diğeri ise Güney Afrika’da .co.za alan adına sahip.
Web siteleri neredeyse aynı. Aynı ürünleri satıyorlar. Kopya olmaması için ikinci sitenin kopyasını yeniden yazmam gerekir mi? Birleşik Krallık ve Güney Afrika olduğu için her iki site de İngilizcedir.
Google beni cezalandıracak mı yoksa her ikisi de kendi ülkelerini hedef aldığından bunun bir önemi olmayacak mı?
Herhangi bir tavsiye memnuniyetle karşılanacaktır, teşekkürler.
Google will not penalize you, but to make it even better implement hreflang, it’s easy and can be done relatively quickly.
No, never.
>The websites are almost identical. They sell the same products. Do I need to re-write the copy for the second site so it’s not a duplicate?
This is the most common penalty myth and its never existed. 25% of the content Google reads is duplicative (Matt Cutts, circa 2010)
>The websites are almost identical. They sell the same products. Do I need to re-write the copy for the second site so it’s not a duplicate? As it’s the UK and South Africa, both sites are in English.
Amazon, Ebay, do this all the time – for Ireland, the UK, South Africa, Canada, the US, New Zealand – all in English, all the same products
>Will Google penalize me or will it not matter as they are both aimed at their respective countries?
Never. Doesnt matter if you do it for the same country. It might not index every version but there is no penalty.
They might compete in unexpected ways.
Google is very upfront about what it penalizes – you can read them all here:

Change metas accordingly personal to that geo it should be ok
The first site to index is safe. The following site will be penalized. redo all content
