Lets say I own two domains that point to the same content.

foobar.com
a.foobar.com
b.foobar.com
barfoo.com


a. and b. and testing servers, barfoo.com is a second domain that allows censored users to access the website.

I would like no hostname other than foobar.com to appear in Google searches. Is there a way of marking the other sites as copies?

We get this question a lot.

Use canonical tags (at least). A canonical tag simply points to the original page. It allows Google to know which page is to be indexed.

Look for the heading Indicate the preferred URL with the rel="canonical" link element for an example.

There is also other good information on this page. It is a good one to bookmark for the future.
