      My site customer has 2 domains pointing to the same site. So i have 2 domains with the same content, with problems about content duplication.

      How can i resolve this situation?

        Hi there

        Consider migrating migrating the sites over to the site with the most equity and focus. There should be no reason for multiple websites that are the exact same.

        When you do this, make sure you use the Change of Address tool in Google Webmaster Tools so that they know a site moved.

        You'll also need to research your content and backlinks so they can be updated to the chosen domain, removed if they are spammy / irrelevant, or disavowed.

        Hope this helps - good luck!

          make sure you have a 301 strategy in place!

          You could also use a canonical tag in order to solve the duplicate content.

          using only one website is always better in the long run!
