Hi,

Every once in a while, I come across a website that is loaded with links to one particular website.
The following 2 websites demonstrate this and are even with the exact same design, colors, and layout!
garden-n-gardens. com and garden--decor. com (spaces intentionally added in the URL).

These guys have a so-called "link-exchange" too. Of course, I'm not contributing to their link exchange. They are probably penalized for duplicate content in Google. But, that's not my question.

Are these websites considered spamming a search engine? Should they be reported to the search engines?

Thank you.

Are they owned by the same person? I know you can change the who is easily and not looked related. Who knows for sure

Not sure if I can answer if it is spamming or not, but I know this technique wont work. Simply put all SE are getting better at "filtering" out duplicate content, so why bother?
