Hi Warrior friends, Kindly advise me I need a little help... Can I make a new website with same company name, design and coding and headings that is using on my own existing website just change the content of pages and also keep the existing website live? Google will still consider it unique due to its content? OR it will be considered as duplicate version of my existing website.? Actually my existing website has thousands of bad quality links and I can't remove them. Kindly help me what should I do.

    It's done all the time. I would make a copy of the site, publish it.
    Then take the old domain offline and forward it using a domain
    forwarder. Most domain sellers make this free. The domain is not
    live, but anyone going there would be transported to the new site.

    If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

      But forwardly the domain will also forward the penalty on old domain to the new one

    Paulgl is right. I wouldn't suggest keeping them both live & separate, but if you want to start fresh on a new domain, that is fine. Forward any existing traffic and build up the new site.

    Setup a sub-domain & test to see If you can rank that sub-domain page for one of your easier keywords, then work backwards towards the more competitive keywords the main domain once ranked for. Don't do any redirects, just build new pages on the sub-domain, then point links from the sub-domain back to the main domain sales page, etc... for traffic to follow.

    I'm not sure If it will work but Google usually treats a sub-domain like it's a different site than the main domain. Only one way to find out If it works, test it.

    Stop building crappy links.

    It's not a good idea, as soon as google know about this one of your site will be at risk.
    do what paulgl said, it's the best thing you can do in this case.
