google penalizing my sites

and not sure if this causes any problem in your case, but your site is reachable with www and without

my sites went down after i bought a blog posting from imteaz and i had done this a couple of times before, but i now bought 5 articles with 3 backlinks each, pointing to all my sites, and they got posted the same time (my own mistake) … only 2 of 5 websites got penalized though and thats dominatesportsbetting and dominateonlinepoker..and they got penalized very very hard

Such a huge drop all of a sudden is very weird!

anyway, im not an seo expert or site technician, so anyone ready to help out is welcome and I will pay accordingly.
i dont understand how to install the plugin kaus and I dont know too much about html, im just a content writer who works with wordpress..

For some reason google doesn’t always pick up on it and some people may live with it for years, but at other times it does get picked up and rankings drop.

While it’s true that canonicalization issues can cause duplicate penalties, sometimes your host will allow access with or without www. It’s not that you have two identical sites, just that your host re-routes traffic to the same site.

If your host does that (mine does) it can seem like a problem when in fact it isn’t – but you’re right to check with your host.

This is what they told me:

fortunepalace.co.uk is your domain, http://fortunepalace.co.uk and http://www.fortunepalace.co.uk are both valid URLs to enter the same site that you have uploaded and both display the same content.

Since then, Google has indexed me fully, so I’ve stopped worrying about it!

That is definitely not a good thing, you need to have the site reachable only under one of the two URLs.

thanks Dom
I been reading stuff like you have to do that in your htaccess
but this is just not so easy to do
due I cant access my htaccess file
so i have sent a ticket to my host
lets see what they suggest me.

Or is there maybe and easier way?
How are you guys doing this?

thanks everyone

You could ask your host.
But I think it’s ok if they can be reachd with and without www.

thank you Cat
I did already contact my host and waiting on a reply

I been reading at some sites
and google itself says
its not good to have a site reachable with and without www
and i have then to all that the main site also with the index.html
so this is 3 different URLs for a Search Engine.
Or do i misunderstand it?

[url]XXXhttp://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-advice-url-canonicalization/[/url]

http://www.example.com
example.com/
http://www.example.com/index.html
example.com/home.asp
But technically all of these urls are different. A web server could return completely different content for all the urls above. When Google “canonicalizes” a url, we try to pick the url that seems like the best representative from that set.

omg
I also did not know this
all my sites can be reached with and without www.

Can please someone explain me simple what to do
thank you
