Ok, I hope somebody can shead some light on whats happening in google. let me explain a little I had a domain name pointing to my server about a year ago as it was the .com pointing to the .co.uk which WAS on my server The domain is bosslighting . com which now points to the .co.uk on ANOTHER server. (it was moved off my server about 12 months ago) Now, the main site on my server is forums-xbox . com But when i do "site:bosslighting . com" in google it shows all my xbox forum titles and descriptions and i cannot understand how its doing this as its pointing to a totally different server ???? Surely this is doing major dammage to my xbox forum (note - the spacing on the urls is on purpose)
Did it ever point to forums-xbox.com ? Anyway, those links without descriptions will probably get dropped soon so if you wait a few weeks/months it should be gone. There's no issue here. It returns a 404 error anyway if you click on it (as it should).
Yes it did point to the xbox server. but as i said it was removed from pointing to my server about 12 months ago so i cannot understand why google has still got a ton of the xbox links on that domain. The domain itself is now just parked and points to the .co.uk version on a different server. Surely google does not take that long to realise the pages all now goto 404 ? try it again on google but use the site:www. (using the www) and you will see what i mean
Please try my method, place lots of links in your post and point to tags, catalogs or other posts. And also place your domain many times in the post somewhere. So, for auto scraper, will give you back link or at least has your domain name inside.
Webmasterplace... I would but i never had that account in google webmaster tools as it was only a redirect to the .co.uk. so there were no pages to remove
I doubt it matters, google will drop them eventually. It doesn't impact your keyword rankings at all since they don't even have a description/cache anymore it means that they're ready to be dropped.
ok... I was just concerned its been a very long time that they duplicated my xbox titles/description which obviously goes against google duplicate terms.
