Addon Domains

[birdman5]

I have a reseller account with a hosting company, but currently only use one account, and have all my domains as addon domains.

I have read somewhere that this can affect your search engine ratings - is this correct? If so, should i move them all to separate accounts?

 

[dgaussin]

I don't see how search engine could know if that's a addon domain or not...

 

[Jim_Westergren]

Yes this is correct.

If you have all the domains on the same account you probably would have the same IP on all of them and if the sites are linking to each other it doesn't really count as different links as they are all from the same IP. But it is not a major thing.

 

[birdman5]

Thanks for that.

None of the domains link to each other, so that shouldn't be a problem. I think i'll leave them as is. Cheers.

Yes, not only with Yahoo but also Google and maybe also MSN.

With Google they erase one of them from the index.

Either change one so that they are different or put a 301 redirect on one of them using this method: http://www.seofaq.net/#51

Thanks.
I would try it.

I need help.

My current .htaccess file has the following line

Options All -Indexes

I want to redirect www.indyan.info to www.pallab.net . How do i do it?

 

[Jim_Westergren]

In the .htaccess of www.indyan.info you put this line:

Redirect 301 / http://www.pallab.net

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks a lot.
It is working.
