SEO and multiple domains to same site
- by mwb
I have one website.
I have two domain names that I want to point to the same site install.
So whether you go to name-one.com or name-two.com you see the exact same site.
Now, I can either set up name-two.com to serve 301 redirect header redirecting to name-one.com – or, I can set up name-two.com as a CNAME in the DNS pointing to name-one.com
What is the different implications for SEO on this? What is recommended?
I would guess it's better for branding to use a 301 redirect, so that visitors will see one consistent url for my site, right?
The reason I want the two domains is that I want a version with regional letters ('ö' instead of 'oe' ) in the name.
