    Hi! I need help with the next problem:

    I have two domain names (www.myexample.com & www.my-example.com..) points to the same Web site. There is no any diffirence (one site is mirror of other one). But Google defines em as different (each domain has its own ranking and appears in SERPs on its own position) The only difference in pages cashed by Google is rotating banner. Why Google doesn't understand that one site is mirror to other. May be because of banner?


    If I make 301 redirect, will google transfer pagerank, everyone say that it will, but I really afraid of loosing links.

    And how google will define which of them to ban?

    All answers are greatly appreciated...

    If you use a 301, Google will consolidate links and PageRank.

    Thank you for your reply!
    Sorry for doubts. Of course, I don`t doubt in your competention but sometimes advices are too theoretical and don`t deal with real life.
    Did you personally know cases when Google transfer(consolidate) Pagerank and backlinks? :) (Just to be fully confident)

    I'd back that up as well. Alshurf, you should try a test of a single page if you are unsure.

    Yes, Google is smart enough to do this. Yahoo is not.

    Yahoo isn't even smart enough to register a 301 in the SERP's at all.

    I wish Yahoo were a better SE.

    Is Yahoo a search engine or strictly a directory? :)

    Both...

    They have a directory, and their own search engine algorithm too....

    I have a nasty experience with Yahoo where a lot of domain 301/302 redirects to a website resulted in a complete removal of website from the Yahoo SERPs. Appearently Yahoo consider this spam. Not very bright... :mad:

    Bad SE, very bad - and not too clever. I could point that bunch of domains on any website. Anyone wants a competitor removed from Yahoo's index? :rolleyes:

    Is "mirror pages" about content and meta tags.... or just to links?

    Lets see:
    Google Information for Webmasters - Quality Guidelines - Specific Recommendations

    Google - Report a Spam Report

    AltaVista - Help - FAQ - Adding & Removing URLs


    AllTheWeb.com: About Us - Spam Policy


    Inktomi - Content Guidelines


    I just used search and the proper keywords.
    :)
