      Hi folks,

      I have a quite awkward problem. Since a few weeks a get a huge amount of "duplicate content errors" in my MOZ crawl reports. After a while of looking for the error I thought of the domains I've bought additionally.

      So I went to Google and typed in site:myotherdomains.com

      The results was as I expected that my original website got indexed with my new domains aswell. That means:

      For example my original website was index with www.domain.com/aboutus - Then I bought some additional domains which are pointing on my / folder. What happened is that I also get listed with:

      www.mynewdomains.com/com

      How can I fix that? I tried a normal domain redirect but it seems as this doesn't help as when I am visiting www.mynewdomains.com the domain doesnt change in my browser to www.myoriginaldomain.com but stays with it ... I was busy the whole day to find a solution but I am kinda desperate now.

      If somebody could give me advice it would be much appreciated.

      Mike

        is your site hosted in apache environment?  if so, read up on htaccess.

        https://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=psy-ab&q=htaccess+rewrite+domain+name+alias&oq=htaccess+rewrite+domain+name+alias&gs_l=hp.3..33i21.357.7244.0.7359.34.24.0.8.8.3.492.3860.6j11j3j2j1.23.0...0.0...1c.1.16.psy-ab.qyiAwy78s7g&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.47534661,d.d2k&fp=735eacbbf8ea6f2a&biw=1280&bih=908

        Something like this should do it;

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

          Hi,

          thank you for your response. I think that was nearly what I needed. I used this one here:

          RewriteEngine On

          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www.)?lillymeetslola.com$ [NC]
          RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.lillymeetslola.com/$1?domain=%{HTTP_HOST} [R=301,L]

          Now every request on every domain but NOT the mein domain should be redirected. Correct?

          Can you check that with one of my alternatives if this works properly?

          Thanks
