Avoid Google's Yellow Flag |
|
Are you avidly seeking good ranking at Google and other Search Engines? Then you may want to pay close attention to your web host or website provider and ensure you have only one chief domain assigned to your site. It's fine if you have other domains that point to your site via a forwarding feature, but if they're all assigned to the same folder or to the same template account, you could be "telling" Google that you have multiple websites, all with the same exact content. How can you avoid the Google "Duplicate Content" penalty? Simple... Contact your website administrator and ask them how your secondary domain names work - are they assigned to your main website with a 301 redirect? Are they pointing to your main site with a forwarding feature? If not, then your webhost should be able to adjust your domains for you. If you manage your own website, what you'll want to do is create a separate folder from your main website and 'assign' your secondary domains to that new folder, then create a simple plain text file called htaccess.txt - all it needs to contain is a line like this for each secondary domain:
Redirect permanent / http://www.yourotherdomain.com
The performance of your other domains won't suffer in the least, but this way Google will realize that you only have one main website and several other domains pointing to it. Good luck in all your SEO efforts!
