      can redirect URL website also shown on the google ranking?  and higher than the original website?

      For example, I create URL B which redirect to website A, and do good SEO on URL B, can URL B rank higher than my original website A?

        Hi Halthmateforever

        As long as the new URLB has unique and new content that is separate from URLA then yes there is no problem. If URLB has the same or very similar content to URLA then you will have a problem and will create a duplicate content which will force Google to choose which version is the best experience for the user.

        Regards

          Hi Nigel,

          Thank for answering. I am still confusing that if everything are same, how's Google choose which version is the best experience for uses? Thank you very much!

            Hi Healthmate

            Google will choose whichever page has the content that matches user intent most closely in relation to the key phrase or word typed into search.

            So if a user searches 'How much is Aspirin online?' and one page answers that perfectly then that page will show higher.

            If the user searches 'Aspirin' and both pages mention the word you will be in Neverland - in the far lower reaches of Google.

            The best thing is not to produce any duplicate content - if you do then rel=canonical to the best version of the page.

            Regards

            Nigel

            • After you remove a 301 redirect that Google has processed, will the new URL retain any of the link equity from the old URL?

            • Our Development team is planning to make our website nearly 100% AJAX and JavaScript. My concern is crawlability or lack thereof. Their contention is that Google can read the pages using the new #! URL string. What do you recommend?
