Yahoo spidering wrong domain

[Scott_F]

I have a site which we do marketing for and has been doing very well everywhere except Yahoo. The problem is that they have two domains out there with all the same content. When I do a search for any keywords from the site, the wrong domain comes up. The right domain does have pages indexed, though not as many.

Is there a way to get rid of the other domain from the serps, or is the only way to shut down that domain?

Basically I want one domain to replace the other.

Have you thought of using a "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" in the headers and direct the Yahoo Slurp bot to the site you want? You can make it do so by detecting "Yahoo! Slurp" using "php/perl/asp...etc" that way you are only redirecting the Yahoo bot and not users.

I realize that may not sound like the best solution (somewhat of a hack) - but based on the fact that you actually have Yahoo indexing your site(s) - and for how many people on this board have a problem just getting included, I don't think you would want to tell Yahoo not to index one of your sites.

If you ONLY want to use one domain from here on out - they you can simply do a 301 redirect (w/out detecting users) - that way all traffic is redirected where you want it to go.
