.com vs .co.uk in google

ones page ranked, the others not

[RazoRmedia]

New to the forum so apologies if this has been answered before, I have done a search for it.

I have one site with two domain names, the domains are the same yet one is a .co.uk and the other is a .com

The dot com domain has a page rank of 0 and doesn't appear in the listings

the dot co dot uk domain has a page rank of 5 and does appear.

also, all the links in the search engines appear to be affilliate links and not my original pages.

Anyone shed any light on this.

duplicate content. Google filters out the one with the lower pr I think.

Could be what ukgimp said or could be that all your inbound links are pointing to the .co.uk and nothing is actually linking to the .com.

thanks for your help

inbound links:

.com alltheweb-36 altavista-39 google-0 msn-798 yahoo-126 total-999

.co.uk alltheweb-3 altavista-3 google-13 msn-6 yahoo-11 total-36

Even though I have two identical domain names pointing to the same domain, is that still classed as duplicate content?

Hi

Look at where your hosting is. If google sees two identical sites, one .co.uk and the other .com, they will look at hosting and decide which one to list. In your case I would bet that you have a uk based ip address so they have decided you are a UK relevant site and hence chosen to list the .co.uk. This is despite most links going to the .com

n.b. Google will only show links in of pr4+, so they will be seeing links in but not showing them with a link site search.

Not exactly. But Google is smart enough to realise that these are one site and 'merges' the two together by dropping one from the SERPS. It does make sense.

If I simply pointed the .co.uk site to a page within my site which http refreshes to the dot com site, would this drop the .co.uk from the listings?

the problem is, whenever you do a google search for my site, you don't get anything apart from affiliate listed sites.
