Hey Alex,
I would complete ignore whoever has given you that advice.
Okay firstly, the person who has suggested this is basically saying, "In order to come across as legitimate in the eyes of Google you should LIE".
Can you see how this is very ironic?
Secondly, there are only two ways in which mutiple domain ownership in various niches MAY prove "harmful".
Initially, we have the Private Blog Network (PBNs), which was once a great way to obtain backlinks, but is now looked upon with disdain by Google.
Basically, this would invovle creating a number of sites, and then linking and interlinking them altogether. The sites would typically also point to your "main site".
This is nothing more than manipulation of backlinks in order to fire yourself up the pecking order in the search engines.
And clearly any form of "manipulation" will go against Google's policies.
Next would be creating websites, most likely in the YMYL niches (Your Money or Your Life - Niches which can impact on a person's financial, physical or mental wellbeing).
These types of websites, e.g. cancer, diabetes, mental health, stock investing, forex, real estate will perhaps be scrutinized more under Google's E.E.A.T. (Experience, Expertise, Authoratitiveness, Trustworthiness).
So, it makes sense to showcase any professional qualifications or life experience you have this niches.
And depending on the choice of niches, it's highly unlikely that someone would be a QUALIFIED Doctor, Lawyer, Psychologist, Accountant, Finance CEO, all at the same time.
That being said, my 3 main websites are in YMYL niches, and in two totally different broad niches.
However, I have a degree, 15 years work experience, over 30 years life experience and professional qualifications in ALL the different niches.
Clearly, Google wants advice to come from those who actually know what they're talking about.
However, we can all certainly have a multitude of interests from which it's fine to produce a number of different websites.
As I say, the only time this may cause a problem is when multiple websites are created in niches which would be better served by experts.

Why should you? Can you ask the person to provide evidence of their statement?
However, each website has its unique URL.
I'm afraid I have to disagree.
Hi Alex
I was about to respond to this and found Partha's comprehensive comment... I agree totally with him!

Please don't fake anything you are doing. This is not the way to conduct the business of any description. Each domain you own is like owning your piece of land to me. They can increase in value.
I wouldn't be happy with myself pretending to be someone else. Just be You
Hi, Alex, What do you mean? Every website has its unique name and URL. So, in fact you cannot use the same website name twice. Or do you mean something else?

Is it bad to have too many different websites registered under the same name?

Hello, so recently started changing a few things around on my site and wondered if my blog roll (posts page) if I could add pages to?
that's the difference between pages and posts...
pages don't go to the blog roll...
you can use post type switcher plugin and change pages to posts...then they are added to the blog roll...
and pages don't have a category or tags...
so best to internally link the page so google knows where it sits in your site...
Hi Feigner, Yes I am aware of the difference I have added a plugin to add categories to my blog but I would like to make it so I can select individual pages to appear alongside my posts on my blog roll.
you can design a page and add the query loop block to it to show part or all of your blog roll...
so you can create a page and add a category or down to an individual post
these pages you can have in your menu....
May have found a solution. Also asked same question Reddit. Someone there has shared a line of code with me. I am yet to try it out but seems like it could be the solution
google will only index one of them....and decide which one is more relevant...
glad you may have found a solution...
You can have static pages and your blog post under an empty static page called blog - then you can go to settings > reading and choose your posts page as your blog.
Not helpful. Don't think you understand I want to feature some of my pages alongside my posts on my blog roll.

Hi, Alex
There are many ways to do this.
For example, you can create blocks on the sidebar of your blog roll with images and excerpts from particular pages.
Visitors can click on them to be taken to the page.

Hi Abie, I wouldn't use pages like I am but you can't add a parent child page structure to posts. I am looking to try a new SEO strategy but this involves using pages instead of posts. I'm sure you will see if this does have the desired effect will share my results.
