Hello,
It maps anything to anything and has wildcard support:
*.example.com example.org
maps all URL's on the example.com domain to example.org.
Thanks.
The main problem though is still identifying the clone/original sites so
that the mapping can be determined.
The process I use has the advantage of having the set of websites to be
indexed predetermined and the clone/original problem is dealt with (for
the most part) before the main indexing run. It can be a complicated
approach depending on the number of TLDs and target countries involved.
The logic behind this approach is preventing GIGO as it is easier and
more efficent to solve the clone problem before it takes cycles and
bandwidth in the main index run.
What I have seen is that some businesses will use numbers of keyword
type domains pointing (without a 301 redirect) to their main site.
However the main clone pair is the ccTLD/.com version of a site (same
domain but different TLDs). The .net and .org may also exist for older
businesses. The non-core TLDs (biz/info/mobi/eu/asia etc) are often less
likely to be properly set up in DNS with a working website as about 85%
of a country's domain footprint will be concentrated on the ccTLD/.com axis.
