Duplicate Content - No! Duplicate Structure (Google)

[dgrand]

Hello,

I opened 10 domains http*//www.category1domainname.com
http*//www.category2domainname.com
http*//www.category3domainname.com

each of the domains lists products that are specific to the category1,category2, etc, no one product is found on both domains. I am hosting all sites on one IP. The structure of the directories on each domain is smth like ../category1/product-name.html ../category2/product-name.html etc.

Now 3 of the domains are listed in Google. I see that periodicaly the root of the unlisted domains appears in google search, after a day it disappears. I also see a lot of goooglebot hits on domain pages of the unlisted domains. I suspect that Google is thinking that this is duplicate content, however it is not, since no contents of the pages repeat themselves. Is this an indication of the fact that goooglebot thinks that this is a duplicate content?

If google bot does think that this is a duplicate content, what should I do? It's been about a month since the sites were up, about a dozed external links lead to each one.

Thanks

Personally I would allow more time, 1 month is not enough time to start worrying about penalties. Give it a while longer and continue with your linking strategy and content building.

I have asked something along the same lines

I'm not sure the problems are the same, but it looks like it to me

bufferzone - on my sites there are no duplicate content since each product is unique and has unique description. It is the directory structure that is similar + same IP for hosting. You are asking about duplicate content (same words is other words) , therefore your question is not relevant here.
