Hi

Some time ago I accidently created two websites under my DNN installation.  I had previously been running my .com website with all .co.uk requests being forwarded to the .com.  After about a year I had a pagerank of 3.  Now after i made a clone of the .com site and had it running as the .co.uk (only for a few days), i lost the pagerank on the .com

I understand why this happened, two identical websites was not making my intentions clear to Google.

If I check .co.uk web address in a pagerank checker it comes up as 3 and the .com where my sites currenlty is 0.

Does anyone have any advice on this matter.  I mean i could swap them over and have the .co.uk as the main domain with the .com just forwarding to it.  However all of my links are pointing to the .com so I am a bit stuffed.

Any ideas would be gratfully received.

Thanks

Pick which site you want to keep as main site and then do a 301 redirect to the new site you want to keep. It will take a few months and you will see that your ranking will be moved to your new site. Good luck

I am not real clear on what you need, but here is a thought.  I saw someplace where there is a SQL script that you can run that will go through your database and replace all your domain.com to domain.co.uk.  This was either a module on snowcovered or a blog post maybe Mitch Sellars.  But I think it would be easy enough to write a SQL script that will update all records in a table.  I would guess that most of your site's content is inside the text/html module's table or the blog module's table etc.  Under the Host menu there is SQL where you can run your scripts.  Here is the article I likely saw.  Back up your database first.

If you have access to IIS, you can create a redirect site.  I usually give my main site a single www.domain.com address.  Then I create another site in IIS that does a 301 redirect to that domain and I assign all my other domain possiblilites to that site.  So for every website I have on my server, I have to IIS sites.

I will do a search now and edit my post when I find something.

I might be quite wrong (been a while since I logged into google), but I think there might be a place in google web tools where you can "tell" google about it.
