Post Reply? Hi, Will my sites be blacklisted from the google search engine if they have duplicate content? they are all fully hosted domains. I bought multiple domains because I thought I would get some direct traffic that way since the names were all so aptly related to my site, but i would still like to be in indexed by google. I made one joomla site. i just backed up that one site and installed that same content (created new db’s for the other sites) onto the other domains. I have read some conflicting info on this and wondering if anyone at dreamhost would give me their take. i really like the domain names and want to keep, but don’t want to use them if google will spank me. I do have some google adsense ads, not a lot but i do get some clicks and enjoy those fews cents and would not want to jeorpordize that. i was thinking about rephrasing the site discription on the main page and the other pages, but the key words would stay the same. i don’t know…
