    Hi guys,

    I have a domain whose spelling is very difficult, so what i did was bought 3 common misspelled domains for my original domains and got my site running on them

    Now, the thing is google has indexed all those domains and same data is running on all these domains, will google penalize me for running duplicate content, if so what is the standard method for dealing in such a situation, i know many people might have the same problem here, wat have u guys done about this...

    You don't need 3 sites, just use one and point the other 2 domains to it

    So you're saying that your have three sites with all the same content but just different domains? I think google might not like that - but really who is going to type an entire URL straight to a product and give it to a friend? No one. Just point the two domains to the main - correctly spelled - domain name.

    Just find the "redirect user" code for whichever language your sites are written with. Heck, even have it forward all the parameters too just incase someone freakishly typed in the whole www.misspelled.com/cgi-bin/imduplicate/producturl.html

    Hope this helps!

    I agree with fryman - just point domains to one site and pages will follow. Google wil then weed out the other domains over 3 months until just the main domain appears in serps
    Very important! Do not interlink sites...you will get banned
