An Easy Way Not to Get Banned by Google

Strategic search engine optimization involves far more than keyword
research, META tags and content.

If you want to mange an SEO program, you need to be aware of any issue that
can affect your success.

Domain name management is one of the big factors. Effective domain name
management is critical because you could end up getting banned from Google
and other search engines if you take the wrong approach.

Why would Google ban you?
In the spirit of fair play and providing depth in its results, Google frowns on
duplicate content. Some web site owners purchase multiple domains and copy
their content for both domains. They figure they may land the #1 and #2
positions that way. That may be the company’s goal, but it’s not very valuable
for the Internet searcher.

Even if you don’t maintain your identical content with two or more domains, you
can still run into problems. It’s possible to update just one set of web pages, but
have them look like duplicates because of how the domain names are
administered. You may be risking everything if someone enters
www.yoursite2005.com/about.html and www.oursite2005.com/about.html
and they see the same content – even if the pages reside in only one location.

Many web site owners redirect one domain to the next rather than configure the
server to associate the core content with a second domain name. In many
cases, a 301 redirect is your best bet. It’s a server-side redirect most
administrators can handle in a few minutes. In effect, it’s a proper way of telling
search engines to ignore one domain and favor another.

You may have many good reasons for owning multiple domains, including brand
protection. Some companies get extra domains on the off-chance that someone
may simply try a domain name and see what comes up. A classic example is 1-
800-FLOWERS.COM. One of their domains is www.1800flowers.com, but you can
get there with www.flowers.com as well.

The Bottom Line
If you secure more than one domain, redirect the extras to your main web site
(on the server) or use the extra domains for unique content (showcasing a line
of products of services).
