i do dave, for example my webfoot creative blog at
http://webfoot.typepad.com/wfc/ was set up almost a year and a half ago... and i have had no time since to work it.
all it was, was a mock up i did in an effort to learn the typepad interface... with basically content taken from the main site and some links pointing to some
www.webfootcreative.com articles i had previously published.
because it had no unique content of its own, and the fact that it hasn't been published to since it conception, you would figure it would have been dumped by google... especially with all the house cleaning they have been doing since the big daddy.
but no, it hasn't been dropped at all, in fact in spite of all this, it has continued to accrue a very small amount of
PR with even some
PR 3 and PR4 internal pages... just weird when you consider the dupe content, the fact that there has been no link building done (except for one blog directory i submitted it to along time ago)... and it even has a bunch of broken links... lol.
but of course it also is not mapped to any other domains... so i guess i already have the answer to my own question... apparently something as simple as domain mapping (with a fully good intended purpose only) is enough to get you into trouble with the search engines... lol.
haha... what happened to the good old days when
seo was a relatively straight forward and simple process... lol.
today you have to be prepared to spend as much time on your learning curve so as to stay current as you get to spend putting in the so necessary billable time... and all i really wanted was to be able to spend more time on the beach... lol.
