: What should I do with my 2 Domains I have a main domain www.example.com We currently are in the process of changing domains to www.example2.com but I really want to keep the existing domain
I have a main domain
example.com
We currently are in the process of changing domains to
example2.com
but I really want to keep the existing domain working.
I have set up the webserver to serve the same site for either address and all links are relative. So if you go to example.com and click on a link you go to example.com/courses or if you go to example2.com and click you go to example2.com/courses.
This works fine and I am happy with it, however someone said to me that Google doesn't like this and thinks I am doing dodgy SEO stuff (which I'm not).
Does Google mind if I do this?
Is there a way that I can tell Google these two domains are the same content while not having to redirect one to the other?

If you point two domains to the same website/content this is duplicate content and exactly what Google does not want. They want one authoritative URL for all content to display in their search results.
If you want two domains to display the same content you need to decide which one is the one you want in Google's search results and make that the canonical domain. All of the page in the other domain then need to use canonical URLs to let Google know the other domain's page is the canonical URL for that page and should be shown in the search results.
