IRO's, IRM's and Search Engines

[Baraka]

If an IRO or IRM is submitted to a search engine, and they point to a site address that is also submitted, can the engines tell that this is the same site? My concern is whether or not they would throw these addresses off the engines or would it enhance the exposure?[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]

Being that IRM's and IRO's are still distinct different domain names in and of themselves, I don't see any reason that they would be "kicked back", but rather enhance your exposure.

Take a look at just about any search engine you want to and create a simple search.[nbsp][nbsp]I think you'll see that even if it was redundant (same domain name) there are many that repeat over and over the same thing (same page/site), so I don't see where it could/would be a problem.
