ie.: 123cleaners.com/Laundry is exactly the same as london-dry-cleaners.co.uk/Laundry but I tell the search engines to index the latter.
Thank you very much for your answer! And you are also using CNAME to alias your domains? I'm just asking because I really don't know very much about all this.

I might have an extra problem because I'm aliasing a page that I did not create myself. It's a subdomain on a page where users can create their own CMS. Same principle as cafepress.com where you can create your own shop and you get your own subdomain on example.cafepress.com

This is why I can't upload a site.xml or a [code].html to "confirm" my webpage at "Googles webmaster tools" page. So I can't really "help" Google find my page and index it.

Do you still think it will crawl my domain when I'm CNAMEing to such a subdomain with a CMS?
