Hi guys,
With regards to the above subject, i have a few doubts.
How would a Search Engine sees a Websites or Portal which is having many domain names pointing to it? I.E having "same" website contents, keywords, title and descriptions". I do understand when it comes to Search Engines Optmization, SE will treat it as "duplicate contents" and they will either penalise the Website being listed or "black list" the IP.
Example, a Website having 8 different URLs, when it comes to Search Engines Optmization.If i would to submit 8 URLs to the SE for the crawler to index the page, will they penalise all the 8 URLs or just base on its policies to judge which is the "genuine" or "orginal"?
Appreciate for prompt response.

Why don't you set it up so all domains have a 301 redirect to one site? That would be your best bet as far as SEs go.

Well, this is part of the solutions. But, the company feel that while submitting more URLs , it will create more chances or opportunity the get listed onto the SE. But that is not the right mentality as far as SEO is concerns.

All that is going to do is hurt your rankings. SEs definitely will see this as spamming tactics and will penalize your site. If they are insistent on multiple urls then I would only do it with 301 redirects set up.

So,is that means the SE will penalise all the URLs, one-by-one? Or it will just "judge" which is the genuine URLs to get it ranked. If i am not mistaken, SE will only do priority listing while it found that different IPs having the same Site contents i.e will penalise only one of it.
However, in this case, same IP (8 different domain) poiting to the same page, same contents.
My question is how do they make the penalisation in this case.

Not real sure how it will penalize each site. We'll have to let someone else jump in here...

from my experience (may be wrong) Google penalises in 2 ways
Internal duplicate content - Ignores all duplicate content including original
External Duplicate content - Ignores all duplicate URL's (not pages) except a 'original' (not sure how it determines this) URL. At worst it can ban all domains.

Many of the pages will turn URL-only. Your PR will be split btween the various domains, and the rest will end up as Supplemental Results with old versions of the cache.
Point all domains at one server, and redirect all of the domains to the one that you want to be listed. You need just one .htaccess file containing all the redirect information in the root folder of the site.

Duplicate content is when the same thing exists twice, or more, and can therefore be accessed by using more than one URL.
There is the www vs. non-www issue that every website needs to fix by using a 301 redirect.
There is the same issue when a site registers both .com and .org and other versions of a domain.
There is the same issue when a site has multiple names: cheap-widgets vs. discount-widgets, etc.
All of these can be fixed by the site owner using the base tag on the site, and redirecting all but one version of the URL.
If you take the correct steps then you will also be immune to any redirects that other sites point at your site.
The only thing you have no direct control over is sites that copy or scrape your content. There are a number of SEO measures that can help, but sometimes legal action is the only way out.

What is the difference between the "hits" and "files" in the logfile analysis?
