Duplicate Content Problem!
-
Hi folks,
I have a quite awkward problem. Since a few weeks a get a huge amount of "duplicate content errors" in my MOZ crawl reports. After a while of looking for the error I thought of the domains I've bought additionally.
So I went to Google and typed in site:myotherdomains.com
The results was as I expected that my original website got indexed with my new domains aswell. That means:
For example my original website was index with www.domain.com/aboutus - Then I bought some additional domains which are pointing on my / folder. What happened is that I also get listed with:
How can I fix that? I tried a normal domain redirect but it seems as this doesn't help as when I am visiting www.mynewdomains.com the domain doesnt change in my browser to www.myoriginaldomain.com but stays with it ... I was busy the whole day to find a solution but I am kinda desperate now.
If somebody could give me advice it would be much appreciated.
Mike

Hi,
thank you for your response. I think that was nearly what I needed. I used this one here:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www.)?lillymeetslola.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.lillymeetslola.com/$1?domain=%{HTTP_HOST} [R=301,L]Now every request on every domain but NOT the mein domain should be redirected. Correct?
Can you check that with one of my alternatives if this works properly?

is your site hosted in apache environment? if so, read up on htaccess.
Something like this should do it;
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.alias_domain.eu [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.main_domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

How to fix HTTP/HTTPS duplicate content
I recently installed an SSL certificate on the site: https://libertywholesalesupply.com Moz is now reading thousands of duplicate content pages because it is reading both http and https. I set up the configuration in Magento to auto-redirect the base URL, created a permanent redirect for the URL in the SEO settings, and adjusted the canonical settings. What am I missing??

Duplicate content and rel canonicals?
Hi. I have a question relating to 2 sites that I manage with regards to duplicate content. These are 2 separate companies but the content is off a data base from the one(in other words the same). In terms of the rel canonical, how would we do this so that google does not penalise either site but can also have the content to crawl for both or is this just a dream?

Duplicate Content of Reseller Product?
There is a particular product/service that I resell through an API. There are quite a few of them and each one requires a lot of content. The company provides web content for each product but I'm wondering about the SEO implications of using it? Obviously using the content, it will not be unique so I won't be able to rank (easily at least) for these products. Are there any _negative_results that I can get from using this content though? If I simply won't rank for those products it's not an issue since I get traffic elsewhere. Thanks!

ECommerce site - Duplicate pages problem.
We have an eCommerce site with multiple products being displayed on a number of pages. We use rel="next" and rel="prev" and have a display ALL which I understand Google should automatically be able to find. Should we also being using a Canonical tag as well to tell google to give authority to the first page or the All Pages. Or was the use of the next and prev rel tags that we currently do adequate. We currently display 20 products per page, we were thinking of increasing this to make fewer pages but they would be better as this which would make some later product pages redundant . If we add 301 redirects on the redundant pages, does anyone know of the sort of impact this might cause to traffic and seo ?. General thoughts if anyone has similar problems welcome
