Just had a message from google about adsense
appearing on an unauthorized site. Looked at
the list and it was my exact blog, just at
a .co.uk domain. Checked it out and man
it was weird!!!! My blog in duplicate! I mean
exact! Thought someone copied my blog for
some reason.

Did a little research. From what I gather, google
will redirect the visitor to the same blog but
with the country's tld.

That is weird.

Has this ever been mentioned here?

    Yep, blogspot has been doing these redirects for at least a couple of months now, I noticed it in my stats. for one of my old sites.

    I imagine they redirect to any country TLD that allows blogger.

    It is kinda weird, because the only thing that changes is the URL. I'm not sure why they would even do that, unless it triggers a browser to display in each countries language?

    Yea I've noticed it too. I have no idea why they do that or how to stop it.

      Kind of puts the duplicate content nonsense finally to bed?!?

      After thinking about it, I'm assuming they may not want
      people using the same subdomain on different blogs
      around the world for obvious reasons. And some
      that are not so obvious.

      It's weird, I'll tell ya that! To see your blog in
      exact duplicate!

      If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.
