I also want to add that we are trying to target visitors specifically in each country for services located in each unique country; we’re not trying to show multiple domains in each SERP.

Thanks for your post. Our company has a .com site and a .ca site, both with the same content (in English). In September we saw a 30% decrease in traffic to our Canadian site, and now our US site is displaying in Google.ca’s results. How can we fix this problem? Our Webmaster Tools settings are geographically targeted for the correct country for each. Our site is hosted in the US, and I don’t see any way that will change. Any advice?

Hi, I’m having a website built and I’m trying to think of ways to get us some traffic. Please let me know if my plan sounds like it will work for me or against me. I’ve purchased about 10 search-word-specific domains that I plan on using to re-direct to one main site. It’ll be a retail site. A good example of what I’m doing would be if I were selling Toro lawn mower replacement parts, I would own torolawnmowerblades.com, torolawnmowerengines.com, lawn-mower-parts.com, toroblades.com (you get the picture). Is this good or bad? Should each domain point to a unique page within the main site? We will only be selling approx. 30 – 40 different items.
I’d greatly appreciate a response. Thank you!

Thats really good advice. I was always concerned that if I ever publish my press release on articles site it would not count as fresh content.

I knew it! I did a test some time and this is how it panned out… I had this content that i posted to 4 article directories with about 98% of the same content and i tweaked the TITLES a bit.

For instance, if it was “breast enhancement – the best in the business”, I replaced the enhancement with ” augmentation” and then ” enlargement” for each content on each article directory and lo, all 4 articles, which already had about 98% of the same content appeared on google for the “breast enhancement” keyword! WOW! I believe the TITLES play a major role there…

What about duplicate contend with different tlds?

I have hotscratchcards.com .eu and .co.uk along with about 30 other keyword rich domains with the same tld variations.

Is regional variation within the content enough?

Obvious solution everyone should be aware of and not to be ignored. Good for pointing that out

This is quite a debate. Here is my two cents. We all are talking bout TEXT CONTENT . What about iamges and videos for isntance this blog http://industrialaccidentsvideos.blogspot.com/ is using the same videos as on other websites. Will it be classified as dupe content?

This is promising to know. I have bought multiple domains which have the www A record point to the same web server. what i dont understand is how google will differentiate the difference between spam and legit duplicate content? can anyone shed some light?
