Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

We are in the process of considering our domain url options for a new site. The plan is to migrate other site (bringing their link juice) to an main brand level domain.

At the moment our desired .com url is unattainable however from a band perspective another extension e.g (.group) would probably be a better brand fit - however I wanted to know what the implications might be from an SEO perspective. At the moment some of our sub domains are ranking extremely well for desired keywords. Assuming we implement the correct redirect rules to maintain these rankings, would there be any other implication for our rankings (particularly in the UK and US) for not using a .com domain and using an alternatve TLD extension.

Thanks

Hi,

Moz has highlighted that we have duplicate page content on our site, displaying the following:

http://bmiresearch.com/press  200 status code and http://www.bmiresearch.com/press 200 status code

We have setup a 301 redirect rule on http://bmiresearch.com/press to permanently redirect to http://www.bmiresearch.com/press and on Google inspect element network it shows this

http://bmiresearch.com/press  301 status code which mean redirect to this URL permanently http://www.bmiresearch.com/press 200 status code

Does anyone know why this might be occuring? Is it possible that because Google has index both URL http://www.bmiresearch.com/press and  http://bmiresearch.com/press with 200 status code? If so how would we correct this?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies!

That's correct - we have listings to suit the needs of our campaigns for our various target audiences. As we generate reports for over 200 countries across 24 sectors this can be quite vast. The issue Moz has highlighted are on our listings/filter pages rather than our product description pages.

Hello,

After crawling our site Moz is detecting high priority duplicate page content for our product and article listing pages,

For example  http://store.bmiresearch.com/bangladesh/power and http://store.bmiresearch.com/newzealand/power are being listed as duplicate pages although they have seperate URLs, page titles and H1 tags. They have the same product listed but I would have thought the differentiation in other areas would be sufficient for these to not be deemed as duplicate pages.

Is it likely this issue will be impacting on our search rankings? If so are there any recommendations as to how this issue can be overcome.

Thanks
