      We have 5 domain alias of our existing sites
      All 5 domain alias are domain alias of our main site. It means, all domain alias will have exactly same site and contents
      Like

      Main domain: www.mywebsite.com
      DomainAlias: www.myproduct.com,  www.myproduct2.com,  www.myproduc3.com
      And if anybody will open our site www.myproduct.com, it will open same website which I have in primary site

      what can i do to rank all website without any penalty....i s there any way?

      This is domain alias of in hosting industry

      Thanks

        Ramesh,

        As EGOL said here, if you could "manufacture rankings" by tossing up a thousand domains then everybody everywhere would be doing it.  It's just not a  tactic that's worth undertaking today.  Put your efforts into main domain and focus on RCS and that will take you much further.

          Hi Ramesh

          There's two clear choices here:

          Either you redirect all of the URLs to one main URL and try to rank that website.  This will result in only one site ranking, but no risk of duplicate content and Panda penalties.

          Or, you give each website its completely unique content.  And that doesn't just mean rewriting the written content of the main site - you should try and give each domain as much unique value as possible, so it is quality content in its own right.  In doing that, you will stand a much better chance of ranking all 5 websites.

          Also, take care that you do not link the 5 domains together on every single page.  A few links might be OK, but having too many links could constitute as a link-wheel, which would also see your site penalised.

          Hope this helps.

            Backlinks from old domain

            Hi, We have gone through a change of company brand name including a new domain name.
            We followed google recommendations at: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/83106?hl=en and it seems to have worked really well, the new domain has replaced the old in the google search results. My question: Still most of our backlinks, both anchor text and links use the old brand name and domain and it´s a slow process trying to update all references. Although they get redirected fine to the new domain (also following google recommendations), I wonder if the current scenario is doing any harm, SEO wise (other than the missed visual exposure of the new brand name) ? ...since the old brand name is not present at the new site I´m thinking of including "New brand name - previously old brand name" somewhere just to provide some sort of connection to all old backlinks, would that be unnecessary? I should mention that the old brand name actually includes our most important keyword but the new brand name does not. Thanks!

            Merging Pages and SEO

            Hi, We are redesigning our website the following way: Before: Page A with Content A, Page B with Content B, Page C with Content C, etc
            e.g. one page for each Customer Returns, Overstocks, Master Case, etc
            Now: Page D with content A + B + C etc.
            e.g. one long page containing all Product Conditions, one after the other So we are merging multiples pages into one.
            What is the best way to do so, so we don't lose traffic? (or we lose the minimum possible) e.g. should we 301 Redirect A/B/C to D...?
            Is it likely that we lose significant traffic with this change? Thank you,

            CDN for SEO (or not)?

            Does CDN impact on SEO or not? There seems conflicting ideas as to whether they impact positively or negatively, I realise that if the page loads quicker this is a good thing for SEO and usability of course. Does Google see CDN as just cheating and a get-around for not doing the work from the ground up and using good hosting etc? Do you have any direct experience? All constructive input much appreciated!

            Domain dominance

            I've just started to work for a company who've purchased masses of domains with every conceivable permutation based on all their products with every extension possible e.g .biz  . eu. .net (including .co.uk and .com of course). I have two questions: 1. Is it worth keeping all these (they want to add more) domains or let them expire? 2. All the purchased domains are online - is there any point (they redirect with a 301)?

            Is having a .uk.com domain a hindrance for long-term SEO?

            I know there has been some mention on Moz Q&A for .uk.com, but not for at least 3 years. So I wanted to see if any Mozzers out there knew if having a .uk.com domain would hinder our SEO long-term? Our company is finally now taking SEO seriously and we're planning some great stuff for the year ahead, but I have a feeling that our .uk.com domain may prevent us from out-ranking some of the bigger companies out there. Does anyone have any thoughts about this out there? Thanks 🙂

            How do I list the subdomains of a domain?

            Hi Mozers, I am trying to find what subdomains are currently active on a particular domain. Is there a way to get a list of this information? The only way I could think of doing it is to run a google search on; site:example.com -site:www.example.com The only issues with this approach is that a majority of the indexed pages exist on the non-www domain and I still have thousands of pages in the results (mainly from the non-www). Is there another way to do it in Google? OR is there a server admin online tool that will tell me this information? Cheers, Dan

            Buying a banned domain

            Hello all, I've found a exact match keyword domain that I'm able to buy. Problem is that I'm under the impression it might have been banned by google, currently it is only showing adsense without content. The site can't be found using the cache: or site: parameters in Google and the PR is 0. What are your experiences on buying a banned domain and how can I double check if the domain is banned? This blogpost suggests I should not buy it, any other opinions? Thanks. Hellemans
