Domain Alias' question

[willbonwillbon is verified member.]

Hey all

When you build a site and have single or multiple alias' for the domain... i.e. joebloggsduvetsales.co... with alias' johnbloggsduvetsales.co and jerrybloggsduvetsales.co... without dns zones...

Does this help or work against the SEO for the site?.. (presuming they are all 1st time hosted domains)
... and what is the effect of a dns zone for the alias'... or not?

Thanks for your input guys.....

Will

I've found in the past that this can work against you. As Google may see it as duplicate content.

What you'll want to do is use a .htaccess file to ensure only one copy of your site is indexed.

The same applies for www versus non-www.
