.com domain is an iframe copy of a .net domain?

[juanzo007]

Hey folks,

This one is over my head.  I'm helping out a friend's dental office website (www.capitolperiodontal.com), and their home page source code points to the .net TLD for its content apparently:

| |

<title></span>http://www.capitolperiodontal.com/</title>
http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html" />
rows="100%" id="dd_frameset_0001">
src="http://www.capitolperiodontal.net/" name="dd_content_0001" framespacing="0" frameborder="0" noresize="noresize" title="capitolperiodontal.com" />
<noframes></noframes>

My idea was to load all the content from the .net to the .com, then redirect the .net to the .com as it has better domain authority and is, well a .com.

Any insights what this iframe biz is all about and if my strategy above is ok?

Many thanks folks!

Hi John,

IFrames are very bad, especially if its embedding the entire site content. Search engines can't read inside IFrames making them NOT search engine friendly.

I would recommend doing what you have stated:

• That you make www.capitolperiodontal.com the main site by moving all website files to the root of this domain.
• Then do a 301 redirect from www.capitolperiodontal.net to www.capitolperiodontal.com. This will allow you to keep any ranking, authority, etc.. to pass to the .com site.

Let me know if you need any other help or info.

Thanks a bunch for confirming this for me, I thought this was just odd and wanted to make sure there wasn't some kind of pertinent reason for using such a technique.
