Hi all!
We currently have a uk based website with a .co.uk extension and we want to target the US market.
Our initial plan was to buy a .net (the .com is not available anymore) and actually copy and paste the content of the .co.uk site to the .net one, changing just the essential information
-currency, geo targeted testimonials among other things-.
As an SEO manager, i m perfectly aware of the duplicate content issue and in regards to that, i was wondering what was the best solution according to you.
Thanks. Your answers will for sure be very helpful

It seems if you trying to do this with google webmaster tools you will be faced with the same problem I do. You can select your geographic target only to have someone at google force the tld regardless of ip..
What they say and what they do as always are two different things and now I can't seem to rank in the us search same problem. I will never pick anything other than .com every again these people seem to use any excuse not to rank us terms

cwar,
Google is intelligent at serving query specific results. Don't worry about the duplicate content and follow these tips:
1. Use Webmaster tools to assign particular region to THAT particular website
2. Your TLD will be one of the determining factor as well (already done i guess)
3. Language (already done)
4. Region specific keywords
5. Domain registered in UK or US?
6. Get inbound links from UK sites for the UK one and likewise
These should do it!
