International Website(s)

[wishmedia]

I have an e-commerce site currently selling in Canada and am now looking to branch it into the USA.

We have both the .ca and .us domain names, but I am not sure what the best approach to this would be. If we put up a website on the .us domain name it would be virtually the same.. So I would assume we would have a duplicate content issue.

What would be the best way to approach this type of situation?

Hi Corey,

You could use rel canonical from one to the other (defining the main one) and rel alternate for one to the other. Only one content gets indexed and Google will display in their results the appropriate version to the user's location.

Hope that helps!
