Hello all.
I am building a new site in the next couple of months and registered two domains www.example.eu and www.example.com. The site isn't complete yet (about 2 months) so I uploaded a holding page for both the .eu and .com versions, with slightly different content, to try and avoid the aging delay. Problem is that Google indexed the .eu (when the .com is priority) and not the .com. So I removed the .eu from the index (which is complete) but the .com version is not appearing in the index. Does this matter? I've submitted a sitemap to Google and pointed a couple of links towards it but am worried that the Aging delay has not yet started.
Any tips or advise would be greatly welcomed! Cheers!

Do you have links pointing at both sites?
Are they identical sites?

The aging delay countdown counts when you have REAL site with real votes for it (links) not just a holding page, from my understanding.

That may be changing. I have a client who had a one-page site with a few (Yahoo reports 5) links pointing to it. We did a redesign, put up a completely new site on a different domain and redirected from the old domain to the new one. The new domain was registered in February, but we only published the new site to it 3 or 4 weeks ago. Within a couple of weeks it was starting to come up for various keywords.

I have heard others report similar stuff, so that's good at least!

With Ageing delay what is the amount of Influence for Incoming Links and actual Age as a Ration between the two??
Just a rough feel, not expecting a measured result.

I do not have any links pointing at the .eu but have a couple of links pointing at the .com.

Yo Andy,
I see you missed the question about "identical sites".
If you're putting up two identical sites on different domains, this could put you in choppy waters with search engines.
If you have to use two identical sites, I'd say set one up with robots.txt to not be indexed, put it behind a login, or some other method to keep it from being indexed.

Thanks Maleman. Although the content was different I removed the .eu site and placed a couple more links to the .com site. Sure enough it is now indexed - I totally agree that you should not try and index identical sites.
