Duplicate blogs across different domains
-
Hi,
I am running a blog for several English speaking websites ( e.g Australia, UK ) and I plan doing SEO for these websites. I want to know if it's a must changing all the blogs for these countries in order to avoid Duplicate Content ?

You really shouldn't be creating duplicate content of any kind for multiple clients. Even on different domains for businesses in different countries, this is not the best SEO strategy for you or the businesses. Work hard to create valuable, unique content ideas that the customer of the business may actually want to read, digest, and share.
If there's really no content for the business or industry, don't have a blog. Find other ways to include great content on the main pages to ensure there's robust, strong content for users to see and search engines to crawl and index appropriately.

I would like to use the blog posts I have for each country ( which are duplicated ) to target that specific country with the same content. What do you think ? what would you suggest regarding this.
Best,
Andrei

Hi Andrei,
It won't be necessary but also depends on the structure that you'll be using to set up your SEO campaigns. You could use the same content and pages to also do link building for other countries but next to that you could also change the content and make sure it will be more targeted to the other audiences in different countries.

Multiple domains
I have a client, (for example Henry Jewelers) who likes to advertise their site as www.henry.com, but their main site resides on HenryJewelers.com. If www.henry.com has a permanent redirect to henryjewelers.com, are the two sites impacted negatively from a SEO standpoint?

Canonical Question For Different Languages
My client has a site that supports different languages in the following structure: www.domain.com - English version www.domain.com/IT - Italian version www.domain/DE - German version etc.... I have set the languages up within Webmaster Tools but do I need to set up the canonical tag for all internal pages as they are basically the same but just in a different language i.e. www.domain.com/index.php is the same as www.domain.com/DE/index.php but in a different language. Thanks

Does Google still see masked domains as duplicate content?
Older reads state the domain forwarding or masking will create duplicate content but Google has evolved quite a bit and I'm wondering if that is still the case? Not suggesting that a 301 is not the proper way to redirect something but my question is: Does Google still see masked domains as duplicate content? Is there any viable use for domain masking other than for affiliates?
