I have a website set up registered under www.example but i moved all my pages to another url www.example2. so different registration but exact same site. google still finds my www.example site in position 1 but has yet to find my new site www.example2 . is it ok to leave my pages on both urls till my new one ranks higher.
If you don't want www. example to rank anymore in the listings, use 301 redirects in the .htaccess file. This way the engines will learn that the original pages no longer exist/moved and so their associated page rank will get passed on to the appropriate page on the new site. Also, if both sites have exactly the same content then the chances are that you'll only see one of them ranking for a given search term, Google doesn't like duplicate content!
Its better that you redirect your site www(.)example permanently to www(.)example2 if your wish to continue with the site. Dont use both the sites together as it will be considered as duplicate sites and google could take some negative actions for it. Use a 301 Redirect to permanently redirect from www(.)example site to www(.)example2 site
Permanent redirect to the new site and everything will be ok. Google will now that there is only one site in there
dont make mirror site or else your new site will be able to get banned from google. just do 301 redirect.
You need to 301 redirect ALL URLs on the old www.example.com site to the equivalent URL on the new www.example2.com site. This will tell Google to give the example2.com URLs credit for the inbound links to the corresponding example.com URLs and to replace the example.com URLs with the corresponding example2.URLs in their index. If you do not redirect, the old site will continue to rank... your new site will be starting from scratch trying to rank again like any new site... and the new site's URLs will be flagged as having duplicate content which will make it even harder for the pages on the new site to rank. If your old site is hosted on ~nix/Apache then you can usually accomplish this very easily through CPANEL or using Mod Rewrite with a single rewrite rule in the old site's root .htaccess file similar to: RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example2.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I would move the old site to your new site permanently. You can do a mod rewrite and place it in your old sites .htaccess file. RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example2.com/$1 [R=301,L]
