Duplicate Content

[solution.advisor]

Hi, we need some help on resolving this duplicate content issue,. We have redirected both domains to this magento website. I guess now Google considered this as duplicate content. Our client wants both domain name to go to the same magento store. What is the safe way of letting Google know these are same company? Or this is not ideal to do this?

thanks

What kind of a redirect did you do? Also did you re-direct just the homepage or the whole site? Ideally you will want to individually 301 redirect the old pages to the new pages.

To let Google know they are the same website, you will need to verify both websites with Google webmaster tools. Under "Configuration > Change of address" you can let Google know that your website has moved, this should help.

Thanks for your help Casey! The situation is this. There are 2 domains using the same exact ciontent on every page. But one site is NOT using the same IP. Its using an iframe to put the whole website within it. But  basically both sites are using same exact content but have totallydifferent IP. This is a No No correct? I need to make both of them to point to  same IP?

thanks
