Samma3l asked 4 years agoI 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,

you were saying that displaying other content by determining the referrer. That is cloaking no buts about it.
Yeah on 2 DIFFERENT DOMAINS- and the content is unique to each domain. you have totally missed the point imo.
Anyway – moving along. Entourage? What’s that. I believe Jane’s addiciton provide the themetune.

It isn’t a bad thing, it’s when people abuse it and take the p*ss. That’s bad. Hey, I am was a Java developer too. The only thing I haven’t tried these days isw C#. No time for it, but I imagine that would be a lot like Java.
I love Ruby, PHP tho, I can you tell I am done arguing? I am trying to change the subject and now I am going to watch Entourage that I tivo’d last night and leave voicemails for all my friends in the UK…

weren’t you talking about serving pages based on content?
No. my interpretation was that he wants two sites – the exact same except a few keywords. so 2 seperate domains.
What I was suggesting was an economical way to maintain and serve content to both separate domains. (In fact upon rereading, a 301 was just what he needed- however for the purposes of our discussion / disagreement, assume he wanted two different sites..)

Well you sound like one. Taling about degrees? wtf! Degrees matter not – I am half way thru a phd – big deal. that’s neither here not there.

My credentials?- I am a SEO Consulatant (god ), Java Coder & Webmaster. As for your “so defensive” comment – I am certainly not going to say black is white to placate you, when clearly it is not.
p.s Screw wikipedia and rewriting their wiki.
p.p.s It’s STILL not cloaking.Cloaking happens on 1 domain where content is served depending on visitor/geo/other factors – as I illustrated above what we are discussing does not.

That’s right, you said:
and yes, in that article it does say:

anyway…
-So you have 2 identical sites running off the same ip. bluewidgets.com and redwidgets.com
– both are identical except red/blue word is different on each site respectively.
– hacking a server to serve both in 1 go (as it were) to different domains is not cloaking.
the same content is always displayed on bluewidgets.com and the other content on redwidgets.com as before – however this way it is easier to maintain – Let me reiterate: the SAME content is shown to each vistor/UA that visits each site respectively – hence no cloaking. nothing is being hidden from the search engines or selectively served.

you have 2 diff domain names mapping to the same server
a script on the server reads the domain name, and serves the correct titles/content on THAT domain.
hence no cloaking involved.
