Hi,
I have my new site which is updated from old site, more or less both sites has same content and meta tags. But now i m targeting only my new site, still the old site exist with the same meta tags. What can i do? Does it affect my ranking?
Old Site : www.ajsqu.com
Newsite: www.ajsquare.com Yes, this may affect your rankings, you must redirect the old url to the new one in order for your new url to benefit from the old sites juices and you must do it as soon as possible. It is not good to have the same content on the different domains even if you are the owner for both domains. Search engines treat it as you copied the content from your old site to the new site and they can spam your new site. So write unique content for both of site. I would suggest to redirect the old site to the new site as soon as possible. Since the old site has been there longer than the new site, it can affect the rankings of the new site. I would do a 301 redirect from the old content to the new one asap.
It is indeed hurting your rankings every day they are both up. I agree with the 301. If not, your new site won't rank as well due to duplicate content. Quote: Originally Posted by Brandon Sheley I would do a 301 redirect from the old content to the new one asap.

If you are not sure, I would say it is worth hiring someone to do that because doing it wrong could really mess up your rankings. Yes,it should affect your new ranking,you should redirect your old site to new site. Redirect the old url to new one as fast as possible...u may be treated as holder of duplicate content by search engines...!!
