Thread: Will my addon domains be penalised for duplicate content?

Started 1 year, 5 months ago by Wes
Hi, Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find any posts on the subject. I'd be grateful for any advice on a query I have regarding addon domains and the risk of being penalised for duplicate content by the search engines. I have several addon domains set up my main domain account with Eukhost...however, each standalone addon domain can be accessed also by inputting the url ...

Hi Wes, People keep on saying that google will penalise for duplicate content, but google has quite intelligent spider and it never creates any problem for the main website hosting . Almost every website hosting is crawled by www as well as without www., but google gives first preference to the website hosting which has more backlinks and previous index record in google cache. ...

Hi, Thanks for your reply - the problem is my main website hosting (account name) isn't a proper web site hosting as such. I set it up with the aim of eventually making it a content-driven web site hosting but it's currently just a holding page. Meanwhile I've kicked on and set up several addon domains under the main domain which have plenty of content etc and are starting to fare well in the ...

Hi Paul, Thanks for the feedback. It just seems mad that a web site hosting runs the risk of being penalised for duplicate content, when in truth there is no duplicate content really - there is of course only one addon site, but it's accessible through different urls (ie the subdomain url too) giving the impression it''s more than one single site. Hope that makes sense. I assume there are loads ...

Wes, if there is no duplicate content then nothing to worry and as I said earlier it will never have problem with your main website hosting .

Wes replied 1 year, 5 months ago
Hi Paul, Thanks for that. It's just the link I gave earlier, namely Rankwell Blog Archive Htaccess for addon domains and several other forums seem to suggest there is a danger of being penalised because it appears to the search engines that your have two sites with duplicated content when the spiders crawl them - namely addondomain.com and addondomain.maindomain.com, even though it's ...

Hi, Came across this post on an affilates forum...they discuss the problem of a web site hosting appearing as two sites to search engines just because they can be accessed through different urls ( www.mysite,com and mysite.com) See here: What is a 301 redirect? - Affiliate Marketing Also, regarding the risk of being penalised... Matt Cutts of Google itself seems to be ...

A zero meta refresh could be one of the alternative of 301 redirect in certain situation which works like a 301 redirect, I think this paragraph would help you in your case; sebastians-pamphlets.com/google-and-yahoo-treat-un delayed-meta-refresh-as-301-redirect/ Matt also refer 301s, and 302s, and even Meta Refreshes in a interview last year; "So, something like that could certainly be ...

main concern is not to have duplicate content, all robots generated content... search engine definitely don't like these. Make your content useful for human. That's most important

Hi Wes, I've managed to find perfect explanation for you from Google itself. Please refer following URL :- Duplicate content - Webmaster Help Center Quote: Duplicate content on a site is not grounds for action on that site unless it appears that the intent of the duplicate content is to be deceptive and manipulate search engine results. If your site suffers from duplicate content issues, and you don't follow the advice listed above,...

Hi all First post. Actually, this problem is killing me, and after reading a few forums and blogs it looks like .htaccess is the only way. My problem, like for many people, is I have www dot mainsite dot com, www dot consumerinterestsite1 dot com, www dot consumerinterestsite2 dot com, etc. The consumer interest sites are where the content will be, and the main site will be just a simple corporate site. The bottom line is: Google has indexed...
