Many Domain pointers to same domain - what happens with PR ?

[missedcall]

I have several domain pointers to my main site..not frame forwarding...JUST pointing to the same physical files with a lot of domains..so domain1.com and domain2.com shows exactly the same thing..

Google knows that domain1.com is the same with domain2.com,domain3.com,domain4.com

Now
Got a domain with good LP and I am on Page 2 with several keywords ...
when quering for link popularity on any of the domains shows the link popularity for this new domain .... (new domain has the bigger LP of all domains)

BUT from page 5 which I was with the keyword wanted to sell I dropped to Page 15 ! And that because google is performing like I own this new domain and is ignoring all others !!!

......so although I get 4x more traffic than before I sell less :huh:

Google does not SUM all the links linking to me for all domains point to the same site..it chooses the best one and is calculating PR according to this ONE ONLY
Anyone has any ideas how to avoid this without changing the web site content ?

- Mirroring the sites on different servers will help ? ip will be different but will this trick google ?
- Putting a script to show a littel bit different content on each domain is smt that could work but will take 2 much time.

Any other ideas ?

IMO, server Domain Pointers do NOT help SEO as the SE likely does not index them or even know about them on their own. However, it is possible to submit domain pointers maually to the SE's which may help as far as traffic goes if indexed and someone types an exact match into the search box (but not positive if Google accepts submitted pointers into the index)?

However, so called 'Masked Forwarding' allows you to use metatags, descr and title so it helps SEO a lot and the SE should be able to locate and index the domain on their own, and maintain its rank.

It's called duplicate content and it's a waste of everyone's time.
To your visitors.
To the search engines.
To you.

Google ranks webpages in its results based on relevance.
If your content is relevant, you will rank. Forget everything you think you understand about PR and backlinks.
Build your site for your visitors' best interest.

Your better off using the other domain as an informational site about widgets that are similar to the widgets at the first site of yours. Then link to the first from the second.

That is correct but easier said than done if you have lots of domains you want to put to work. One reason we use Domain Pointers is that you can easily put all your domains to work without needing to spend lots of time and effort setting up a new website for each domain. In that respect domain pointers are excellent as they are so simple and quick to set up on a server, and usually free too.
