   Hi

   I have a parked domain with a blog that is run with MU.

   Google has indexed the blog but it is appearing under both

   http://www.renderingadelaide.com.au/
   and
   http://www.renderingadelaide.plumbing-adelaide.com/
   in the serps
   Am I correct in thinking renderingadelaide.plumbing-adelaide.com/ may be an older index by google? The sitemap does not have the plumbing reference.

   thanks

   Wanda

   Looks like you need to double check that you've set up your domain forwarding as a Permanent Redirect.

   Are you by chance forwarding the page from one domain to the other in your theme header? Possibly after the first domain loads. It looks that way and would explain the double indexing, but it's hard to tell for sure.

   Try removing any inline forwarding and just forwarding from your DNS record (e.g. in your GoDaddy or other host control panel), again, making sure to set as Permanent Redirect.

   Hope that helps - E

   Thanks Erin,
   I had number 5 ticked in domain options in Domain mapping as aNework Admin
   Unchecked it and the re direct is working now
   I expect Google will change the SERP when it crawls the site next
   Regards

   Wanda

   Yep :) Thats exactly right.

   If you want to speed it up, make a Google Webmaster account, set up the domain name, and ask for a crawl.
