      Matt Cutts says on this video that you can have the same content on different TLDs and there is no duplicate content for Google. Have someone try this experience?

      For example : same content on "mysite.fr" and "mysite.be".

      And for the visitors from Belgium, will they see into the SERPs "mysite.be" and for the visitors from France "mysite.fr"?

      Thank you for your answer guys.

      Jon

        Yes.  Every press release I put out get's syndicated to 5,000+ websites.  Same content... thousands of different TLDs, yet massive backlinks and near instant increase in rankings.

        From experience, only the first few dozen sites that quote the source will be put in the primary index.  Everyone else will end up in the supplementary index.

          I don't want to have thousand of sites with the same content, it's just that in France and Belgium we speak the same language.

          I just want to have one site for one country. So, it's maximum 3 of 4 sites with the same content but I don't want that my belgium's appears in SERPs in France. Is there anyway to do this?

            In Google Webmaster tools, you can set your geo location.

              Here's a link to more info about geotargeting in Google Webmaster Tools.

              Also, for other search engines (like Bing), you'll want to set content-language.  Read more about how to do that here.
