I pinched this from Link Vault, I’m sure the original poster (T2DMan) wont mind. Great little tip.
The following is great to redirect from an alternate domain into your proper domain. ie if you have got 5 domains and only one website, use this to redirect from those websites into the main website.
This will keep the benefit of the links into the duplicate domains and redirect into the exact same pathnames on the main website
.htaccess
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
It is very important to have only one url for your pages. Google has got a very good duplicate content filter, and after the domains have been up for a while, it will start showing only one of the url’s for any given search.
Google may also PR0 one of the sites, and it may be the one you have been adding all the links to! A bit of a lottery. So decide on one url, and redirect from all the others.

This is a response I posted to a RAC arbitration:
As a buyer of content I cannot afford to spend the time checking each and every article for plagiarised content. I have to be able to trust the coder to write original content.
I will not use plagiarised content on my websites as (as well as being unethical) this would mean that my company would be breaking the law.
In additon, duplicate content is mostly ignored by search engines, and may even incur a penalty.
Copy-and-paste is not a mistake, it is deliberate.

Allan Gardyne recommended Googspy in his latest email. I have just spent 10 mins researching keywords and am not quite sure what to make of it. Im not even sure that this stuff should be available. Its pretty amazing although, like Allan, I’m not sure what to make of it exactly.
Allan has written an article on Googspy.
