Hi Everbody, I've a big problem with geolocalization in a web store:

I should to create different websites with different content:

example.co.uk = visible content in United Kingdom
example.us = visible content in United States
example.es = visible content in spain
...........

But some of this content is aggregate and duplicate under

example.com (uk + us + au...)

I know is out of google guidelinees but, I must to see some
of the (en content) only in uk, and some only in United States,
because I can't sell all the product in all nation, and many have exclusive
rights (nation by nation)

I'm a seo expert but I think that will should no index the duplicate content and give
the priority to domain geolocalization or there is a better solution ?

Or different meta/title can save me about duplicate content ?

Please help me, what you impression about?

There should be no problem using the same content on different domains with different geo-location targets. You can set up each domain in Webmaster Tools and choose the country target for each in there. You're already set up to do this well because you are using country-code TLDs.

Many Thanks for the early reply.

Yes I agreed with geolocalization throught google

But If I've same english content (for some pages) on a

example.co.uk
example.co.in
example.com.au

And make a query on google.co.uk;
google indexed correctly my example.co.uk whitout penalization on example.com.au /co.in ?

Many people talk about a "duplicate content penalty" but there is almost never such a thing except for major scrapers and spammers. Those people are speaking casually and misusing the words.

What does exist on Google is a filter with the job to have only one version show up for any particular search.

So what will happen is that all your pages except for the UK version will be filtered out of the results for a searcher from the UK; all your pages except for the IN version will be filtered out of the results for a searcher from India; and so on.
