Continuing from Part 1 of dealing with duplicate sites.
The problem
Anyway, what exactly is the problem?
Are you saying that BOTH the sites are completely out of the index, one site, or just some pages?
In case of duplicates Google usually choose one url as the original and keep it in the main index. If all (original and duplicates) belongs to you and at least one copy is indexed then you have no problem.
If you’ve already used the removal tool, those urls are now gone from Google for 180 days – no backing out is possible. But you’ve also greatly simplified your situation now, so all your further troubleshooting will be a lot easier.
If you haven’t already, I’d suggest studying the threads in our Google Hot Topics at a minimum. I’ve pinned it to the top of the Google Search index page so it’s easy to find.
If you do not know the Mod- Rewrite then
Just use mod re-write and do the entire domains to the root of the site you are keeping, no need to worry over the individual pages, in fact you could even delete them all.
Don’t know the exact code, I’m sure you can find it by searching here for “mod-rewrite redirect site”.
Everything done, When will Google recover the unique site then?
