Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Dhan1985!

Do you mean:

- for a while, the URL will return content X (to Google and to visitors)
- afterwards, the same URL will return content Y (to Google and to visitors)

or you mean something else, in which case could you add some explanation on what do you intend to do.

My Question is iam going to have same url for Content x and content Y(In content Y going to have hypen in url text)Content x have new content and content Y have also have new content.

My purpose was to test the two pages in google, both the content are new. please let me know whether i can have same url for two different content.

You could do it but then you have a duplicate title and description tag issue.

Iam going to have different title and different meta discription for each page.

Thanks

In content Y going to have hypen in url text

Do you mean that there will be two different URLs, identical except that one will have a hyphen and one won't?

(I'm completely unclear as to what the end result is supposed to be here)

This is the way I read this:

- There are TWO URLs, both having the same (key)words in URL, but one uses hyphen as a separator and the other does not, for example:

www.example.com/bluewidgets
www.example.com/blue-widgets

- Both URLs will have a new unique content (including unique page title and meta description).

- Both URLs will target the same keyword(s)

In this case, here is what I think:

It depends on the content. If the content of these two pages is sufficiently different and both contents are useful to visitors, I do not see any Google problems (in terms of getting some sort of penalty).

If the content of page y is just re-hashed page x, then this is issue that Panda algo is focusing on. However, if this is only one pair of such pages on a fair quality site, I do not think you would need to worry about Panda issue.

But I would echo netmeg's question:

(I'm completely unclear as to what the end result is supposed to be here)

What are you trying to test?

If you are testing effect on Google ranking, what you may want to consider is that these two pages would compete in Google with each other and that Google may filter one of them out or rank both of them lower than it would rank one stronger page.

So for this reasons if you are testing Google ranking, the test is flawed.
