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?

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.

Should I have multiple websites for my different brands or one main website with different tabs/areas?
My client creates apps. As well as the apps they create themselves, they have made some of their own that cover various different topics. Currently they have individual websites for each of these apps, and a website for their app making business. They are asking whether they should just have one website - their app building site, which also includes information about the two apps they've built themselves. My feeling is it's better to keep them separate. The app building site is trying to appeal to a B2B audience and gain business to build new apps. AppA is trying to help carehomes and carers to streamline their business, and AppB is trying to help workplace and employee welfare. Combining them all will mean lots of mixed messaging/keywords even if we have dedicated areas on the site. I also think it will limit how much content we can create on each without being completely overwhelming for the user. If we keep them all separate then we can have a very clear user journey. I would of course recommend having blog posts or some sort of landing page to link to AppA and AppB's websites. Thoughts? Thank you!

Help - Lost Ranking - What did I screw up?!
Hi, We're working with a local service provider with a location specific keyword (not a real example: "orlando plumbing contractors"). Background:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | AaronHenry
In recent history the client updated a new site design and upgraded from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5. Of course there were duplicate content issues which have been resolved with the help of AceSEF. Duplicate content, title tags, and other content issues are handled as soon as they appear in GWT or MOZ. Additionally, a high number of backlinks were lost when the latest Google update hit. Many of these sites were of sites that no longer existed or were spammy and flushed out. Some were lost due to the previous SEO firm literally removing backlinks and switching them to their new client (seo firm was putting all of the work the client paid for under their name to control everything). Current Situation: The backlink loss seems to have been stopped (hopefully) because we are using a new strategy that relies solely on the quality of the links, surrounding text, varied anchor text, relevancy, etc.) However, we tried an experiment on just one of the clients keywords. That experiment seems to have blown up in our faces evidently. The landing page for the location specific keyword has dropped from the index completely (it seems), but only when searching broad. When using exact match with quotes like the example quoted above ("orlando plumbing contractors") the landing page appears, but several ranks lower. We were ranked yesterday 6/23/13, but as of today 6/24/13 are no longer ranked. On broad matches, non-relevant sites and even a site that shows only a broken server configuration is outranking the client (they appear for the broad search, but the client does not). What Was Done
We recently created a press release for and posted it on a press release site. We then created a link back to the landing page (exact match anchor text). We posted the PR article to several social sites (Google plus, folkd, delicious, twitter, stumble upon, diigo). We also created a blog article (on-site) on site for that, creating links back to the landing page (the links all had exact anchor text). We posted that blog article to social news sites (facebook, stumble, delicious) and included a ping. The PR article was manually rewritten and posted to the PR site (we had to make 2 versions of the PR; one for the blog and one for the PR site). The Result
The client ending up dropping off the broad search rankings, but only slipped a few for "exact match" (with quotes). The PR article that was created is now ranked on page 3 for the board keyword and is still beat by non working sites. We suspect that the exact anchor text could be causing this problem. Anyone else have an idea (we're scratching our heads and trying not to freak out at the same time).0 -

URL strategy mobile website
Hello everyone, We are facing a challenging decision about where our website (Flash Gaming website) is going. We are in the process of creating html5 games in the same theme of the flash games that we provide to our users. Now our main concern is to decide how to show this new content to the user? Shall we create brand new set of urls such as : http://www.mydomain.com/games/mobile/kids/ Or shall we adapt the main desktop url : http://www.mydomain.com/games/kids/ and show the users two different versions of the page depending on whether they are using a mobile device (so they see a mobile version) or a pc/laptop (so they a see desktop version). Or even redirect people to a sub-domain : http://m.mydomain.com/ The main idea we had is to keep the same url structure, as it seems that google is giving the same search results if you are using a mobile device or not. And creating a new set of urls or even a sub-domain, may involve a lot of work to get those new links to the same PA as the desktop URL that is here and know since a while now. Also the desktop page game should not be accessible to the mobile devices, so should this be redirected (301?) to the mobile homepage of the site? But how google will look at the fact that one url is giving 2 different contents, CSS etc, and also all those redirects might look strange... we are worried that doing so will hurt the page authority and its ranking ... but we are trying to find the best way to combine SEO and user experience. Any input on this will be really appreciated. Cheers,
