Multiple domains:Please help
Hi guys

I have a site en many different languages. But we have 2 English version: we have the domains.

co.uk
.com

Both have the same content but one is orientated to the UK and the other to America. For SEO purposes only the .com works but the co.uk has PR and Google sitemap shows a lot of external links comming from the co.uk domain to the .com

What shall I do? Leave everything as it is or Google can penalized my site for duplicate content? Thanks

Ditch the dulplication. Decide which market is better for you and permanently redirect one to the other.

That would depend on how radical a change you had in mind. Changing the content could cause you to lose link-relevancy, among a number of other things.

Google doesn't penalize duplicate content. It simply ignores the one that it thinks isn't the original.

Your best move is to redirect it to the .com version.

I do agree with this. However, you could make better use of the 2nd site if it was modified an non duplicate.

The Content would be very relavant (but hopefuly not to similar to flag duplicate). Thus links from it would be benifical.

Why not change the 2nd site?
