I had several domains aliased to my primary domain but search results were returning not only the primary domain but also the aliases as well.
so say I have www.widgets.com as my primary domain and also have www.morewidgets.com as an alias then SERPS would show both domains as seperate results. I am worried this will mean i will be penalised for duplicate content, even more so with several aliases. Is this the case?
In response I have altered the aliased domains to redirects and when i telnet www.morewidgets.com i get the following result...
-----
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: redir-httpd
Date: Fri, 25 May 2007 15:17:29 GMT
Location: [widgets.com...]
Last-Modified: Fri, 25 May 2007 10:45:48 GMT
Content-Length:165
Content-Type: text/html
<html><body>You are now redirected to<br><a href="http://www.widgets.com">http://www.widgets.com</a></body></html>

Have I done the correct thing in order to still get the benefit of type-ins but not get penalised in the process?
It may also be worth me asking if i have www.bluewidgets.com redirected using the same method to www.widgets.com/blue/ can anybody see any drawbacks to this.
Thanks in advance

If you don't redirect... and they both point to the same website... you will get penalized eventually.
