| Hi everyone, Just wanted to get some opinions on duplicate content. Matt Cutts seems to think its not a huge issue, but many SEO experts say its a huge issue. My question is more in relation to what qualifies as duplicate and what are the worst forms of duplication. As I think some forms are just plain picky. I also believe that sometimes its best not to get too bogged down in this stuff and just focus on your content more than anything else. Ok lets start: 1.) Mirror Domains both return HTTP 200 OK - Has anyone noticed significant benefits from using a 301 on 1 of these domain names? 2.) 2 URL's / Same Content - Two identical pages on the website both accessible through human friendly url's. EG: www. mysite .com /my-example-url EG: www. mysite .com /my-example-url-2 How bad is this? 3.) Domain concatenation EG: mydomain .com EG: www. mydomain .com 4.) URL Concatenation EG: www. mydomain .com EG: www. mydomain .com /default.aspx EG: www. mydomain .com/ EG: www. mydomain .com /my-cool-article EG: www. mydomain .com /my-cool-article/ (note trailing slash!) I would be really interested in hearing your feedback and experience with these forms of duplication. Also if you could rate how critical each of the 4 points I mentioned (in your opinion) are, I'd really appreciate it. |

| We've got multiple domains pointing at the same website without any 301s or 302s. The only downside is that you can find certain results spread across multiple domains ie. under .com , under .eu etc., When we finally relaunch with the new site design in the next couple of weeks we'll 301 all the extra domains to the main .com |
