Domain Names Forum

Instead of having it be duplicate content, it is better to have it be very good content of the same nature, and then link them to each other.

It's nice to see a growth spurt here recently at WmW.

>>>>If I map two domain names to the same site... and submit both domain names to the search engines, how do search engines treat such listings ? Won't they "notice" its a duplicate of content and penalize the listings somehow ?

The nature of this question is quite plainly more about ethics than about technicalities.

Sure you can use some well known tricks and redirect the visitors to one domain. And yes some engines will pick up dupes (AV) and others (Google) won't be so sensitive.

The more I learn about this stuff (seo)...the less I feel the need to use "tactics". I believe the reason for this is that I am becoming more adept at producing a quality web site to start with thereby reducing the need to augment my efforts with other methods with questionable ethical implications.

I believe if you do the keyword research, pick the right domain name, use a theme site directory structure and start a linking campaign on top of basic, quality seo methods....I think you have done 99.9% of what it takes to have a good shot at a high ranking.

Yes, some of the doorway techniques still work. Yes, some of the redirection methods still work.

1) most of the better ones will. They create hashes of pages (adding all the characters together), when those hashes are "close", the page is considered duplicate, even if on another domain.

a) very difficult in this atmosphere. I have a few myself that would have been worth 5-6 figures even last summer. Now they are worth 3 figures. Finding good info on names is difficult. aka: buy low, sell high. It's worth what you can get out of it.
