From the October Google Webmaster Chat Q &A:

Anonymous: Duplicate content - How many unique URLs (domains) are permitted to point at the same destination before it becomes a problem?
e.g. domain1.com, domain2.com, domain3.com all point to domain.com, which has its own pages...

Maile Ohye: Hi there, I'm happy to help with this question, but I'm not sure how it's duplicate content. In your example it seems like domain.com is the only site hosting content. It's common for companies to buy misspelling <-- did i spell that right? of their domain and then 301 to the correct version. Can you further explain the scenario for us?

Translation: It's not a problem.....

Kevin, Boston Ma: My company controls the main domain out of Italy with a .eu extension. We have an English version of the site. Will the European domain hurt our ranking?

Kaspar aka Guglarz: No, you won't have any ranking disadvantages due to the .eu/ domain :-)

 

From the October Google Webmaster Chat Q &A:


Anonymous: Sitemaps question: If my website has an extremely large number of pages, like Amazon.com, should I include every single URL that I want indexed in my XML sitemap?  If not, how should I go about populating my XML sitemap?

Wysz: Feel free to use your Sitemap to list all of your pages... that's what it's for! :) However, if you have many duplicate URLs for the same content, then you may want to only list your preferred versions of the URLs in your Sitemap.

 

Get rid of LinkClick.aspx, fast!!!!....

The most talked about topic in SEO is often Links, this includes internal links that you have on your site. DotNetNuke does a good job of dynamically creating and maintaining links using LinkClick.aspx, but's it's very poor in terms of SEO because it will get reported as Duplicate Content by the major Search Engines.

Example:
http://www.prestamosenlinea.info/LinkClick.aspx?link=56&tabid=36

This link isn't very SEO or Human Readable for that manner. The easiest way to avoid this is by unchecking "Track Number Of Times This Link Is Clicked?" box when you are making links which will produce this:
