Yesterday I got a new job to work on a real estate agent's website, with a brief to get them onto the first page of Google for Bangkok Property. But there's one site, position #2, that has duplicated six websites, all linking to one another and using keyword spam on all their domain names. And I cannot compete with it! Why does Google weight the domain name so heavily? Why does it allow duplicate content, from the same owner to dominate their search? This is just plain wrong. I would like some help on this, please. How can I get Google to take any notice? I have just started up an SEO company in Bangkok called Search Sense Thailand and have my first real break.
