Hi
I have a question regarding duplicate content and regional
tld's. I have a site where the top 2 markets are ireland and the u.k. . Now I have the domain name with the right
tld's, i.e. mydomain.ie and mydomain.co.uk. My problem is I'm selling products aimed specifically at both markets which will be duplicated across both domains. Now I don't want this to be caught by the duplicate content filter in Google. What I want is if the keywords are entered in google.co.uk , mydomain.co.uk is brought up and vice versa for Ireland. Now from what I've read everyone recommends doing a 301 redirect, the problem with that is that one of the sites wont be indexed. The other problem with this is it might mean that the .ie might show up for searches through google.co.uk and users would probably have a preference of buying of a local site, i.e. a uk based company. Does anybody have any info they can share on this? I have seen examples of where this has been done and not picked up by google, i.e. komplett.ie and komplett.co.uk .
Cheers
