Is this duplicate affecting my pagerank?

    Hi,

    Could I have your opinion on the following please?

    We currently have various domains, such as example.com / example.nl / example.de

    These all point to the same file structure, so many pages/paths such as /test1.html and /test2.html are all valid on all the domains.

    So both:
    www.example.com/test1.html
    www.example.fr/test1.html

    are valid.

    Do you think this would have any effect on the pagerank of the pages, would it be seen as duplicate content or not?

    Thanks for any pointers,

    Floob.

    In my opinion color/structue does not matter but content. Use unique content on all sites pages.

    Use canonical tag, if you are using the duplicate content.

    It doesn't effect search engine results and PR.

    I agreed with this. The most important is your content must pure, not duplicate.

    Is it defined as duplicate content if we are serving the exact same page, from the same location?

    Do you think our PR is being affected purely by the fact we are prefixing the file with different domain names (all domains are run from the same IP).

    So, is
    http://www.example.com/test1.html
    seen as duplicate content when viewed from
    http://www.example.fr/test1.html

    even though it is the same file.

    Do you think it would be better to redirect all the country domains to .com and be done with it?
