Default Re: Adding a new site - duplicate content?

First I respectfully request you remove the link from your sig - it is against WPW rules. While I notice that your website offers a disclaimer - the website is inappropriate.

To answer your question unilaterally - "all code" is considered content thus a design change could be enough to prevent Google from seeing as duplicated content.

I highlight that because there really is no precise understanding as to where Google draws the line - thus your risk of any form of copying could in fact get both websites penalized.

It may be a better approach to "remove" one total section from the current website and post in a new site - thus giving your customers what they want, and remaining in Google's favor on both -- without any worries.
