my site currently has multiple entry URL's. each URL has a different front page, but all content is available across all sites.
each site has unique title banners and slightly different meta tags. all are on the same server. should i be worried about getting penalized by google, or is this ok?
btw, there is 3 in total, we aren't talking hundreds
Have a look at the following URL, specially the fourth and fifth paragraphs: [seroundtable.com...]
Mirror sites: 1 website, 2 domains. Shows example of rsdfoundation.org. Somebody in the academic CPU center decided that “since SE’s like .edu domains,” they should put the content live on the University of Florida site. Confusing the Bot: 2 URLs. Links to multiple root domains from other sites, with inbound links pointing to different domains for the same site. Describes the real domain and “canonical” domain of a client of hers causing the whole site to not be listed.Confusing the bot: dynamic URL’s. As robots find dynamic content, the site may be returning a different URL with the same content…this is also a problem. Use “repeat the search with omitted results included” feature to see this happening with some websites. Recommends using robtots.txt exclusion and 301 redirect. 301 redirects: “your hero” Server side redirects to a single canonical domain. Test the page to make sure it works, ensure you use 301’s instead of 3o02. Find code for this at beyongink.,com/301redirect. You can also contact Google and use the “reinclusion request” in the subject line to get help.
so theyre saying it confuses the bots? does that mean ill be penalized, or the sites will just not be spidered as well?
