Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Sue

Had a quick look at the sites, and did a reverse ip lookup too since I was curious if both were hosted on the same server(which they are not). I then noticed that you need to redirect the following :

http://datlabs.co.uk/

to

http://www.datlabs.co.uk/

You also have a .com version which is identical(as far as I could see from the quick look I had) to your .co.uk site - are you only accepting business from the UK and are you only interested in ranking on Google UK? If the answer is yes then I'd advise you to redirect the .com site to the .co.uk and/or implement canonical tags so that Google knows which site is the primary one.  These kinds of duplicate content issues can and do affect rankings.

Another bit of advice is while I'm not going to get into the whole debate over paid links, I will say that if you use your company/domain name as the anchor text for paid listings in quality directories then you'll be far less likely to be penalised.

If you need some help with the redirect code and implementation just let us know

edit : and take out those keyword meta tags!

It's pretty much a useless metric these days - and remember that there might be two seperate 'Page Ranks' - the one on the toolbar and the internal one that Google has in it's vault

Mike is right about the shared hosting - just make sure that there are no outbound links to the affected site.  Shared WMT account won't matter. You can always use a different Google account if you're still worried

It means that Google will clear your browsing history and, in theory(since I have my doubts about this) it would then offer you unbiased results and advertisements.  The part about 'google can add the firefox' just means that they detect the user agent in the browser and know which browser you're using.

Personally I'm not convinced that doing this will simply clear their little pocket of info that they have gathered though - but that's just me haha

Hi there

There are a few ways to do this, and it would depend on your goals.  Obviously you don't want two different domains with the exact same content so here are some options to consider :

• Apply correct use of cannonical tags so that search engines know which is the original source, and then put your link building efforts into the original

• Create and add unique content around the Bulgaria sites property content and apply Bulgaria specific on-page optimisation to them.  The only problem with this approach is that if these properties also feature on the main(buypropertyanywhere) site that you'd be competing against yourself.

• Redirect the bulgaria site to your main site and make sure that your site architecture is good and has bulgaria as it's own 'section'. Put all your seo efforts into just your main site.

You've not given exact URL's which is fine - but if you were looking to rank the Bulgaria site on Bulgarian search engines and specifically for local searches there then the redirect option might be excluded from the above.

Hope that made some sense
