Shopify and multiple stores for seo

[OnlineAssetPartners]

Hi,

We have a potential client who has multiple stores targeting different countries using Shopify. He has set the domains for specific countries using geo targeting in webmaster tools. Anybody had any experience on how fool proof this is? (all the sites have the exact same products/content on them)

Thanks

The first problem is going to be mass duplications of content. This can cause a major headache.

Have a read of what Google say on this matter here:

There is a bit right at the bottom which talks about this exact problem.

I agree with Andy on this one. That resource from Google will be a huge help for you. One thing to consider would be to you might also find some useful answers in this video from Matt Cutts. It is about using different IP addresses for different countries, but there is some other useful info in there pertinent to your issue:
