I work for a gambling website. In order to advertise on TV we require a .net rather than a .com and that the .net doesn't allow play for real. So in order to create a .net site I'm just taking the references to money play out of our main site and putting it on the .net. I don't mind our .net going into supplemental results because I'd rather people searching found the play for money option (obviously) but how can I make sure that Google knows that .com is our main site and comes first when adding new content?
Could set up a robots.txt file on the .net site and disallow the google bot from reading the site. Boulder
I don't think that a redirect would be appropriate here. A 301 would actually redirect traffic. The law will only allow them to advertise an online casio as long as there is not money involved. If they redirect that URL straight to the for money site, I think that would be frowned upon by the authorities.
Not only frowned upon but we'd not be allowed to advertise and probably face a hefty fine There has to be more than 2 clicks between .net and downloading a play for real client, as well as various other things. I agree that the robots idea is the easiest way, cheers
