Question About Search Engine Indexing
-
I have WordPress multi-site up and running. This is a sub-folder installation. I am using this to host several separate websites, each with their own domain name. To do this I am using MU Domain Mapping Plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/).
Everything appears to be working properly.
Quick question regarding how search engines will index these sites…
I have my main wordpress site, and two other “sub” sites. For example:
mydomain.com
mydomain.com/site2
mydomain.com/site3I have then mapped the 2 sub sites to their own domain, for example:
newdomain2.com —> /site2
newdomain3.com —> /site3Again, all of this is with the MU plugin and a couple new A records.
I’m fine with having my sub folder URLs forwarding to the “new domains”, however I do not want Google and other search engines to index the sub folder URLs. Simply put, I want Google to always index:
newdomain2.com
and not ‘mydomain.com/site2’. Hopefully that makes sense… and I’m pretty sure this is how it works but I need to check before I bring more clients to my installation. Thanks!
