Hello. I have an odd question. My client made me create a splash page that serves as a portal to their 2 websites. When you visit the site, it gives you the choice to view site A or site B. My issue is now that this is live, Google sees this splash page as the home page and it has ruined my SEO. Is there a way to bypass and set as the home page for Google SEO purposes? I have recently set the robots.txt file to ignore the splash page, but I'm not sure this will do what I want it to. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Why would anyone want a splash page? That is soooooo obsolete. Try to convince your client to remove it. If you can't, try to do something like: make site A your landing page and have a pop-up with chaice A or B.
Exactly what cossio said, splash page is just pointless. It's like have an 18+ warning for adult sites. No one does it anymore. If you really want the splash page, you could add something like this to your robots.txt file. User-agent: * Disallow: /my-page.php
make it a content page with multiple links to pages on site A or site B. You still are stuck with having to optimize for two different sites on one page, but it is better than a splash page.
