Hi Will, That's just something I've read about in the past, if Google thinks you're duping your content they can get a little fussy about it, so along with the redirect you really need to return a an HTTP code for all the domains bar one, to make Google know the site is a redirect.
I think i got that 403 wrong though, that's the wrong status code, you probably want one of the 3xx code, take a look here and Google around a bit to find the best one http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html. Even if this isnÂt causing the problem, it's probably worth addressing.

The client has 10 or so domains pointing to different pages in the site. We use Plesk control panel on our server to manage these - they are done as standard forwarding. No idea as to how to set up a 403 on these domains so I best check the Plesk docs.

Is it possible that you have several and they've picked it up as duplicate content as you werenââ¬â¢t returning a 403 on the domains?

A site goes away for a week or 2 then comes back. It was more prevalent when they were doing their "big brother" upgrade though. I would make sure the site is still indexed go to google and put in: site:www.yoursite.com and see if it has results and make sure you werent banned. >Hi, > >Possibly OT, possibly not - it is a CF site.
