My Hosting is having different plans, but with the same features. So many pages were having the same content, and it is not possible to change the content, what is the solution for that?
Please let me know how to solve that issue?

Hi Alexa!
In order to solve problem one, I would choose which domain you want to use (it would be a great idea to use Moz's Open Site Explorer tool to see the domain authority of each of these URLs), and redirect the other URL to the preferred domain. If you don't want to redirect the one website, you could leave both sites up and running just like it is and use the robots.txt file to stop the search engines from indexing one of the domains.
Let me know if you need anymore help!

#1) use the hreflang tag. This tells Google that the two sites are actually the same site, but meant for different markets (1 = Australia, 2 = default)
#2) There is no reason for these to be separate pages..
- Linux VPS
- Budget Linux VPS
- Standard Linux VPS
- Extreme Linux VPS
Your keyword = "Linux VPS".. nobody searches for your modifiers so there is no point to having multiple urls. I recommend merging them into one page. If not possible, set canonicals from all of them to only 1 version of the URL.

Hello, because you are using a country code domain name and not a generic domain name for your second site it should not be as big of a problem. Google does have some guidelines for international sites and duplicate content. They say that you should try to have unique content for the specific country.
I recommend you consider doing this for your high priority pages and make them have unique titles and copy. Then you would want to use a rel="canonical" tag to all other pages that directs to the .com site.
If your goal is to get the com.au website ranked on Google Australia then you will want to make it as unique as possible from your primary site.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Alexa, having two domain names with the same exact content is not recommended--at least for search engine ranking purposes. You have several options, and I would choose the option that's best for your overall strategy for the website. This should be based on the type of visitors you're trying to attract.
One option is to leave both sites up and running just like it is--and stop the search engines from indexing one of the domains. That can be done via the robots.txt file.
Another option is to add a geo-redirect on the site. If the visitor is coming from Australia, then show them the .com.au site. If they're not from Australia, then redirect them with a 301 redirect to the .com site. This would solve the issue with the duplicate content, as this would work out fine with the search engines if set up properly.
Another option is to redirect the .com.au site to the .com site with a 301 Permanent Redirect, as the .com would typically work for US and Australian visitors. Typically .com.au wouldn't go over very well with US visitors, so that would be the better option (to only use the .com site).
You could take the time to rewrite the content and add an Australian and US address to their respective sites, and then you'd show visitors and the search engines that the .com is for the US and .com.au is for Australia. Typically that would work well, as the search engines would show the .com.au site to visitors from Australia and the .com to the other searchers, such as those form the US. I would also add the appropriate geo-related meta tags on the site so that the search engines will know which version to show which searchers.
Whatever you decide, you need to deal with the fact that there are two duplicate copies of the site out there, which is not a good thing. You'll continue to battle search engine ranking issues if you have both copies out there being indexed by the search engines.

Hi Alexa,
-
You should decide wich domain you want to use. Then there are 2 ways to solve the duplicate content:
a. Redirect one to the other
b. Set a rel=canonical pointing to the other.
In my opinion you shoul leave the .com and redirect the other. -
Having the same features and being written the same way is a bit of a problem, but in this case, unless you want to re-write all, there nothing you can do.
Also i've found other issue just for overseen your site:
- There isn't any 404 error page, check this url: https://psnine.com/hosting/extreme-vps.php
Best luck.

Ranking issue for new website
Hi all, I have got a specific SEO challenge. 6 months ago, we started to build an eCommerce site (located in the UK). In order to speed up the site launch, we copied the entire site over from an existing site based in Ireland. Now, the new UK site has been running for 5 months. Google has indexed many pages, which is good, but we can't rank high (position: between 20-30 for most pages). We thought it was because of content duplication in spite of different regions. So we tried to optimize the pages for the UK site to make them more UK-related and avoid content duplication. I've also used schema to tell google it's a UK-based site and set up Google my business and got more local citations. Besides, If you could give me any suggestions, it'd be perfect.

URL Index Removal for Hacked Website - Will this help?
My main question is: How do we remove URLs (links) from Google's index and the 1000s of created 404 errors associated with them after a website was hacked (and now fixed)? The story: A customer came to us for a new website and some SEO. They had an existing website that had been hacked and their previous vendor was non-responsive to address the issue for months. This created THOUSANDS of URLs on their website that were then linked to pornographic and prescription med SPAM sites. Now, Google has 1,205 pages indexed that create 404 errors on the new site. I am confident these links are causing Google to not rank well organically. Additional information: Entirely new website Wordpress site New host Should we be using the "Remove URLs" tool from Google to submit all 1205 of these pages? Do you think it will make a difference? This is down from the 22,500 URLs that existed when we started a few months back. Thank you in advance for any tips or suggestions!

Advice needed on how to handle alleged duplicate content and titles
Hi I wonder if anyone can advise on something that's got me scratching my head. The following are examples of urls which are deemed to have duplicate content and title tags. This causes around 8000 errors, which (for the most part) are valid urls because they provide different views on market data. e.g. #1 is the summary, while #2 is 'Holdings and Sector weightings'. #3 is odd because it's crawling the anchored link. I didn't think hashes were crawled? I'd like some advice on how best to handle these, because, really they're just queries against a master url and I'd like to remove the noise around duplicate errors so that I can focus on some other true duplicate url issues we have. Here's some example urls on the same page which are deemed as duplicates. 1) http://markets.ft.com/Research/Markets/Tearsheets/Summary?s=IVPM:LSE http://markets.ft.com/Research/Markets/Tearsheets/Holdings-and-sectors-weighting?s=IVPM:LSE http://markets.ft.com/Research/Markets/Tearsheets/Summary?s=IVPM:LSE&widgets=1 What's the best way to handle this?
