Does it help in SEO if you host same content in two domains ?

This post answers the following questions

  • Does help in SEO to host the same content in two domains?
  • Is it a good idea to host two copies of your site?
  • Can I use two names?

Well the answer is no, and absolutely not. If you host duplicate content the end result might send both your domains to bottom of the search . This creates a duplicate content issue, so will think at least one of the site is copying or mirroring the content. And you will never get double the traffic. And your new domain will never see the top of the search rankings.

So if you are planning to migrate to a new domain, then set a permanent 301 redirect in the old domain for at least 3 months before retiring the old domain. If your audience come mainly through Search engines this should be fine, but if they come through other site links, then you might need to change those links or keep the old site's redirect on.
