When I search my website on Google ...

Hi all,

I have a website that I am working on with my partner. He has registered this site as a sub domain.

his main site is https://www.partnerssite.com (made up name)

when i search for my site (lets call it https://www.mysite.co.uk) it appears as

https://www.partnerssite.com/mysite.co.uk

how can i change it in google so it just comes up as https://www.mysite.co.uk in the searches?

thanks in advance

mig

    Do you actually own the www.mysite.co.uk domain (and therefore having it forward to your partner's site)? If so then I don't think there's anything you can do. You could forward it in frames (depending on whether your registrar offers that service) and then put appropriate metatags in the domain (but google still wouldn't search the site itself and you'd have two separate listings, one for your partner's site and one for your domain, where they come depend on the tags you use etc). Only way around it really is to have the domain hosted separately.

    Does https://www.partnerssite.com/mysite.co.uk actually exist?

    What does a google search for site:mysite.co.uk turn up?

    Sounds more like a page-rank problem where https://www.partnerssite.com/mysite.co.uk, if it does exist, ranks higher than the actual mysite.co.uk.

    best add ww.mysite.co.uk (use actual name) to the meta tags on each page of your site.. this should improve the rating at least..
