I run a site that for sales reasons needs to have a UK, European and Rest of the World site. However, at present we simply create three versions of the same site, changing only the delivery charge and tax based on the delivery address. All sites use the same content (in English) and are priced in £'s.

Fundamentally this means we have duplicate content issues (not to mention numerous other problems!). One solution I'm considering is to base a visit on an IP address and use geolocation to deliver the correct content.

Does anyone have experience of this - specifically I'm interested:
  • How effective is this approach - I've heard of problems with AOL etc.
  • What impact will this have on SEO and how can we overcome the main issues.
  • What's the best way to implement this? It sounds good in theory, but how to we make it happen?

Many thanks for your thoughts

James
