You explained yourself perfectly.  Unfortunately, it's not really a DNN question.  It's a question of how Google ranks sites.  In my opinion, I wouldn't have forwarded it in the first place, the same site under two host/domain names should just be an alias.  It will cost you nothing to try this, then you'll see if that helps your Google rank.

Thanks Jeff

This is what I was thinking, so I think I will add the .co.uk as an alais and see what happens

 

cheers

From the SEO standpoint google will likely detect the identical content and will only use one of the domains while sandboxing the other. If you want to force the use of one domain over the other while allowing both domains to resolve to the same site, do this:

 

Assuming you want classcampers.com to be your main domain:

1)     Point both domains to the same name servers, also make sure both of them are aliased to the same IIS site. Depending on your providers control panel this function may be called “domain alias” or something else.

2)     In DNN make sure only classcampers.com is defined as portal alias, leave classcampers.co.uk unmapped to any portal(s).

 

If someone uses classcampers.co.uk to access your site, DNN will transparently redirect to classcampers.com domain. When it comes to SEO there is a lot of Voodoo science, however what matters is good text based content, age of the domain, and links from other high ranking sites.

I have done that.  My .co.uk has its dns set to the hosting company that you work for (or own), and my .co.uk has been added as an alais but not added as a portal alias in DNN.  But when I navigate to www.classcampers.co.uk Firefox tries to open www.classcampers.com as an MSdos application and it asks me to save it.  If I do the same in IE it just gives me a 404 error
