Duplicating a Site

[leonkush]

Hello,

I have set up an Actinic site for the UK and need to set up one for Australia and one for the USA which will contain identical content except the prices and spelling will be different.

I am using Developer and want to duplicate the UK site for both countries and make the relevent changes and then upload to a .com and .com.au address.

What is the nest way to achieve this?

take a snapshot of the site...

create new site - import snapshot
create new site - import snapshot
repeat until done...

make sure the sites are sufficiently different that you don't get penalised for mirror sites

A very important point - I had a customer who "borrowed" an old HTML version of a site I had and simply changed the most basic of points (contact details, email links etc) and the basic colour scheme - much to his bewilderment whereas my site was on the first page of Google for certain keyword searches his was not listed up to the 25th page when I gave up looking

meta content referencing the country, use the correct ccTLD and currency matching with a few minor text changes WILL be enough Jo...

Can you give a bit more detail on the meta content and 'currency matching'?

I'm thinking of doing the same thing with a UK/Euro site to get round the currency problems (unless someone can think of a better way - I want to be able to have the customer choose their currency and have all prices displayed only in that currency and also charged in that currency...)
