Some weeks ago I hosted a web site with a domain of <snip>widgetingabout.co.uk</snip>. Google has crawled the site and successfully indexed this domain. Soon after I realized that <snip>widgetingabout.co.uk</snip> is not descriptive of what the site is about so I purchased <snip>widget-forum.co.uk</snip> that points to the same site/content as <snip>widgetingabout.co.uk</snip>. Google will not index <snip>uk-widget-forum.co.uk</snip> and I am thinking the reason is, because it knows that both domains are the same site.
Ideally, <snip>uk-widget-forum.co.uk</snip>needs to be the primary address that is indexed on google with <snip>widgetingabout.co.uk</snip> pointing to it.

I have a web forwarding option within the configuration of 123-reg.co.uk who manage my domain names - should I make <snip>widgetingabout.co.uk</snip> point to <snip>uk-widget-forum.co.uk</snip> using their web forwarding feature or will google still see this as duplicate content. At the moment both DNS records for both domains are simply pointing to a web server.

Hopefully the above is clear...

Thanks in advance..
Paul
