Try this, Go to MSN, Type in "San Diego MLS" then go through the first 10 sites... you'll see that there are 4 of 10 that are exactly the same minus the domain name and site title! and I am sure there are plenty similar more after the first 10!

Who is this Henry Siegel anyway? I never heard of him. He definalty should not get into google rankings.

It's alright, I am sure no one has heard of you or me either....lol..

But i just found it interesting how MSN ghas 4 of his SAME SITES with different addresses/titles in the top TEN for that KW...

{Stepping up on soapbox}

Whenever I see something like this it tends to make me wonder about the agent's character. I ask myself, "If this person is willing to blatantly attempt to cheat the Search Engines is it a far reach to believe he/she would also attempt to cheat others? [Including Clients]"

It could be some fake SEO behind it as well charging this poor guy some good money for cheap tricks...

Who know, I just wish MSN would take a "look see" and figure it out...

Looks like one of his other sites (still the similar page) bumped me out of the top ten for other kws too...
Frustrating to say the least...

Glad I'm not in San Diego! That's too bad, have you contacted anyone? I think ResaleBroker has it right, looking at this gus pages, it's hard to believe he has no clue to what he's doing.

For whatever it's worth... I talked with Henry today.

I asked him if he knew about the different domains and duplicate content. He said he was aware. He also said someone else built the sites for him and the results have been great.

That's worth a lot!
I figured he might not be the MSN SEO master behind his sites..lol...
Well, I guess, I'll have to wait for a shake out, I'm not going to go out of my way to do the same thing and risk being kicked out.

Anyone have any suggestions?
