I agree with you.

I think down here in venezuela people are not as aware as maybe other countries to figure out that the domain changed.

My main worry, as i told moosa is that the client does not have the resources to maintain both sites. I guess using the .com domain was the only way to combine both.

The Client it's offers several consulting services, business plans, financial planning, legal consulting etc.

thanks

Ok... thanks for your answer.... However the client does not have the manpower o resources to produce content for both sites.

What would you do in that case?

I know this might sound as a newbie question or maybe not, here it goes.

I've had a client for the past 2 years, and we have accomplish many good things for his local website .com.ve (venezuela). It's been so good that he is opening a branch in Dominican republic .com.do.

The content, strategy and even the services are exactly the same, but the owner  wants to have different site for each country. Of course he only wants to pay for one domain.

I do want to share our success ont the .com.ve with the other domains and he actually owns the "global" domain .com with his brand name.

So, what should I reccomend... Develop a second site and start from scratch? Migrate my blog from the .com.ve site to the .com site and give each country a separate folder? /ve /do?.

What it's the best scenario for me to have all the traffic we have earned transfer to the global brand and to have separate info for each country...

Thank you so much for your answer that I kno would be great.
