Because of the similarities, the search engine struggles to determine which webpage is more valuable for your keyphrase search.

You can get them both up in rankings simultaneously but you'll have to radically refocus one of them. You have to create two uniquely devised web presentations.

I could be wrong in my impression and a brand new web site could now be in suspension, pending evolving proof of its own importance.
