Make the redirect permanent (301 status code), and supply a canonical URL in the head section of the pages (see: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/specify-your-canonical.ht ml). You can also use Google webmaster tools to specifically tell them which domain is preferred and they will combine any results they have and link to your preferred URL. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334281 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
