2 domain pointing to same website, how to resolve it?
-
My site customer has 2 domains pointing to the same site. So i have 2 domains with the same content, with problems about content duplication.
How can i resolve this situation?

make sure you have a 301 strategy in place!
You could also use a canonical tag in order to solve the duplicate content.
using only one website is always better in the long run!

Hi there
Consider migrating migrating the sites over to the site with the most equity and focus. There should be no reason for multiple websites that are the exact same.
When you do this, make sure you use the Change of Address tool in Google Webmaster Tools so that they know a site moved.
You'll also need to research your content and backlinks so they can be updated to the chosen domain, removed if they are spammy / irrelevant, or disavowed.
Hope this helps - good luck!

Best practice for a website where the publications (catalogues) expire frequently
Hi guys, Hope to find some smart SEOs around here and where I can to contribute to the community! I wanted to share an issue we are having with our website, which is focused on the promotional flyers of the supermarket chains. These are often valid for a short period of time and then expire. So it makes no sense to keep them but also, if we delete them, that would create a lot of 404s or something. So how do you think it is the best way to go around this problem? should we delete them? or when deleted to redirect the dead pages to the homepage? or keep them in an archive live site.com/brand/archive/ ? Thank you so much for any opinions, much appreciated! Best

However today, our DA is now 30...where it was 31 or 33 a couple of days ago. How come the decrease? I have only improved the site i should say... Hope someone can shed a little light on the issue... -Rasmus

SERP listing of a websites' 'categories'
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has thoughts on what I can do to encourage SERP listings that include website categories, eg http://www.google.com.au/search?q=seomoz&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a . I'm assuming search engines only display type of listings when the search query closely matches the domain name? Thank heaps!
