Hello all,

I recently came across several domain names all displaying the exact same site:

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/
http://www.BN.com
http://www.Books.com

They are not redirects, just the same exact content I believe.

In a search engine point of view, is this bad? Won't SE's ban the sites or would it hurt rankings for duplicate content?

What are your thoughts?

Francois
