New Domain on top of existing domain. Stupid Question :-)

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by blueboxer, Mar 16, 2009.

    I rank #1 for a very popular keyword without having the domain to match on my existing site.

    Now, I just purchased the domain name that matches the exact keyword.

    I still want to keep my current site, but I want the new domain to show up in search results for the keyword.

    Kind of confusing to understand, but I see other sites do this.

    How do I go about doing that? Is it simple on shared hosting?

    I would use a 301 redirect!

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourkeyworddomain.tld/$1 [R=301,L]

    The best way is to park the domain on top of the existing domain. This will allow your site to be accessed with both the domains.

    You can then also submit the new domain to the search engine.

    Did you ever heard about duplicate content penalty?
