Wich is the best way to manage dup content in a intenational Portal?

[ofuente]

We have a portal wich is only in spain and we started to internazionalized it to Argentina, Mexico and Colombia.

Before we had a .com domain with content only for spain and now that domain is going to be global. so..

.com contains all the content and you can filter for country

.es contains spanish content

.com.ar contanis argenitian content

Every thing is ok but the problem is that there is a content (online courses) that is in every country.

What we thougt to do is:

-online contect url canonical to .com domain

-Geo content url canonical to .es, .com.ar domain (depending on the geo)

Filters besidese .com and .es can give similar resoults we do not use canonical url or we will follow the rule above (if there is geo in .com filter then canonical to geo domain and if the filter is (online courses) then canonical to .com domain)

What do you think about that?

Thank you in advance.

Do the geotargeting in Google Webmaster Tools. You don't need to canonical to the .com. Also make use of the meta language and country attributes, and make sure your pages are adjusted for the local version of Spanish - it's best to get a native speaker to check as there can be a surprising amount of differences.
