Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello Mr. Brett.  Thanks for taking the time to respond. 1.  I have two domains I am marketing for in adwords.  Both are the same type of business but different locations.  One is well known and the other is not.  The one that is well known I am doing the remarketing for.  I also do some social marketing for that location, but nothing else.  The lesser known location i have a pretty serious adwords campaign running with good results. 2.  The only remarketing I am doing is adwords\search. 3.  I am using google tag manager on the site, but still unable to get cross domain working.  On my site (domain1.com), its a simple widget (domain2.com) that opens up and completes the transaction then pushes them to a thank-you page (back to domain1.com).  I track all the thank-you landings, but they all show they are coming from domain2.com. 4. I am no way an expert, but I am pretty familiar with many of the technologies being deployed. Thanks again for any help you may offer! Doug

Hi there, Sorry for the trouble! We attempted to access that robots.txt page and it does look like we were hitting a "too many redirects" error. You will also want to make sure you are not blocking AWS, as that would stop us entirely. Checking the logs is really one of the best ways to determine how exactly your site is responding to our crawler, and if there's any way at all to get those that would be ideal for troubleshooting. Without logs, there isn't a ton we can definitively investigate. If you have questions or logs you would like to send over, we'd recommend reaching out to us at help@moz.com so that we can check out the campaign as well. Sorry we can't be more help here!

Hi Doug If you have duplicate content then you could add a cross-domain canonical on all the pages from site 2 to site 1. Then when it's dropped away just 301 everything, That means you'd still get direct traffic to it but Google would rank the main site 1 and drop site 2 because all the canonicals would reference site 1. You just put the 301s in the .htaccess file I wouldn't do it this way - I'd just make sure all the content was on site 1 then 301 but I understand you might be nervous. Regards Nigel
