Multiple domains with same content
Hey,

I was wondering if having different named domains coming up in Google with the same content will cause problems. This is the situation - we have many domain names that are misspelled versions of the correct one and are simply redirected to the main (correct) one.

However, I just did a search and all of the domains are coming up and in Google caching the content as if it belongs to that domain.

Will this effect our correct domain in anyway?

Any ideas on how to prevent this? But still keeping the misspelled domains and re-directing to the correct one?

Thanks for any advice.

Nathan

I think you should really set up 301 redirects from your misspelt domains to the correct one.
You can achieve this using mod_rewrite if you are hosted on apache...

Google would detect this and not think that it is duplicate content then?

This is the current code I have (thanks to Jharnois )

Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]


I think this is a 301 redirect already, right?

Yes, you're right. It's a 301 redirect.

No it will not
Hi, No having aliases will not effect your main domain name or web page. Remember your main point was to have misspellings redirected to your main web page.

Is this certain?

I remember back in the day - there were many theories that it caused problems or Google gave a page less PR because there were many other websites with the same content?

Has this been theorized or proven to be incorrect?

Cheers.

even if you don't redirect, google should detect and filter out duplicates, but if your site is new and not very trusted you could get penalized
