SEO for two Domains Pointing at single Sub folder

 
 
Reply Sun 3 Oct, 2004 08:37 am
I have portal mysite.com and now I want to have another copy of this site mynewsite.com. I want the indexpage1 to be displayed when user types mysite.com as address and indexpage2 if user types mynewsite.com .. I already have both sites pointing to index.php .
My ISP does not permit to point the files ..hence I have to point it to same index.php . I am just wondering ..doing this through PHP will cause Search engines to unmark my site
Can someone please suggest how to solve this without effecting the SE.

Please help
Thanks

No matter what the method, if the content is the same SEs will dislike it. Will the content be different?

One trick would be to use a rewrite condition based on referrer, I don't have time to write extensive rules for you, but if you just need an easy fix I might be able to help.

A more complex one would be to use a subdirectory, and then rewrite urls there (without the users knowing). Then the utl paths would all have to be relative paths.

Some code examples:

Code:RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^.*able2know\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.able2know.com/$1 [R=301,L]


Quote:
RewriteEngine on


Turns on mod_rewrite

Quote:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^.*able2know\.com [NC]


The condition says that if the http host is not (the ! is not equal) able2know, to proccess the rule. The NC is to say it's not case sensitive. Note the escaped periods.

Quote:
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.able2know.com/$1 [R=301,L]


The rule: the (.*) means anything, so it takes any request and passes it on to the $1 (which is a variable) The end of the rule tells it to do a 301 redirect and to process no rules after this, you probably do not want the redirect.

Code:RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://able2know.com/.*$ [NC]


That is an example of a rewrite condition based on referrer. The first rule is for blank referrers and the second for referrers that are not able2know.com

Using these examples, you should be able to make a solution with some experimentation.

Thanks Craven,
I will read more on Rewrite stuff and will try to implement your suggestions.. as of now.. I have no clue of "Rewrite" .. I am blindly using your SEO rewrite mod and it works great.

Everything works fine.
But now I want all my members to login to read the post. Can someone please advice how to force the user to login without upsetting the Google.
Also, if visitor to the site is from through Google search he should be able to read the post ?'without' login

Thanks
Aali

What you are asking about would need 'cloaking' and could upset Google to the point of removing your site from their engine permanently.
