    Hi all,
    I have a few problems, and a bit of help won't hurt me...

    I have a .com site, which is hosted in the US. When i opened a PPC campaign at MIVA, they told me that my ads will only run from a non-US host (since they are casino oriented).

    My question is - If i buy a .EU or CO.UK domain with the same name (www.mydomaon.com and www.mydomain.co.uk), and make the exact same site over there (for MIVA and such purposes) will i get panelized by GOOGLE for duplicate content?

    can anyone think of a better solution as to how to run my ads (needing a host outside the US)

    Thanks for the help...

    Did I understand it correctly: Your website must not be hosted in the US in order to be able to buy ads for it on MIVA?

    Maybe he's saying that Google won't allow their ads on pages with casino promomotion, so he needs to do the casino promotion on a host from outside the US??

    Yes, you will get hit because of dup content. If you are going to put up another site, the content will need to be different.

    I have a similar dilema. I have two domains - same name - one .com and the other .co.uk. I want to duplicate my .com site on the .co.uk with the only difference being prices (either $ or £) and some spelling (e.g. optimization / optimisation).

    Does this break the Google rules? I simply cannot be banned or I will loose over $1k income per month. Does anyone have any experience of contacting Google prior to a move like this?

    IMO. Yes, one of your sites or can be both,may get banned for content duplication.
