Same Site, different domains. Would it work?

Samma3l asked 3 years ago
I was wondering if someone could give me some info or help.

I have a website up at the moment to which I mainly update. It is the one listed in my signature file but anyway there was one thing I wasn’t sure about and was hoping you guys might be able to help.

I was looking to have another domain point to the site being LinuxOnlineCasinoGuide.com though instead of just pointing to the site, I want it to feature the name Linux Online Casino Guide as well as the site description etc.

Is this possible or am I better off just importing the site to the new name and do something else with the old name, so as to avoid site duplication? The main issue would be setting all the links (wow a heap I know) again, but this wouldn’t take me too long anyway.

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,

That’s cloaking but that’s ok <span title=” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” /> It’s not dodgy/bad cloaking. It’s a good idea.

You can check on whether or not it came from a search engine and get the keywords they found your site in the SERPs. With this you can create an array and go through this array and if(keywords=……) etc you can show certain content.

I would use the new domain and do a permanent redirect of the old site to the new one. The type of redirect is caled a 301.

Since you are writing about Linux Casinos I am wondering if you are using an Apache webserver? If so and you have .htaccess enabled and in use, then you can add this to your .htaccess file (usually found in the root of your webserver’s public html location):

Redirect 301 / http://newdomain.com

Let me know if you need more help with this.

Thanks very mcuh for your help guys, it is very much appreciated and helpful.

It is good also to see the debate a little more… civilised <span title=” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

To clear things up a bit,

I am looking to run 2 sites, one called http://www.truebluecasinoguide.com and one called http://www.linuxonlinecasinoguide.com.

With both of these sites, I was hoping to to have the same content though I wanted to set it up as so that Titles and etc would reflect which site was typed in e.g. when I type in trueblue…, it would goto the trueblue… title, typing in linuxonline… would have the corresponding title linuxonline… as well.

My hope was that I would only have to update the one wordpress system and both would update at the same time. My concern was whether I would get penalised for duplicate content and, how I could achieve the desired outcome if it was worthwhile.

My webhost allows me to “forward” or “point” linuxonline… to trueblue… but I wasn’t happy with it only going that far I wanted to customise the content to each domain.

Carlo,

I think wordpress is great! There are so many plugins so it is really easy to get it to do something I want, to the extent that I have been able to edit the .php files and have a bit of a clue as to what I was doing (if there was a qualification for “Trial and Error” then I’d be the leading Subject Matter Expert <span title=” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />).

Thanks again for all the help sofar, I have learnt a great deal already.
