    actually if you have the same content on different domains then yes, one (the newest) will be deindexed within a few days and your original site may also take a little hit. Its true from an seo point of view. Take his advice.

      Also don't take advice from someone who can't spell "hear"!

      You can just read my advice, and also see https://support.google.com/webmaster...er/66359?hl=en


      "As a result, the ranking of the site may suffer, or the site might be removed entirely from the Google index, in which case it will no longer appear in search results."



      I say no more.

    If you redirect the duplicate page it might as well not exist.

    My question is why do you have duplicate pages?

    Even If for some reason you need duplicate pages on the same domain, use canonical tags. If you don't use canonical tags the worse that will happen is Google will bury one of the duplicate pages in Google Supplemental SERPs. The problem with letting Google make a decision about duplicate pages is you might be doing SEO for a page that Google decided to bury in Supplemental SERPs while the other page with duplicate content is the page that needed the SEO.

    Fix the problem, first decide why you need duplicate pages on the same domain.

      I'm talking about the "www.example.com" vs "example.com" vs www.example.com/index.html and so on.
      Sorry if i did not explain myself better.
