Multiple Versions of Your Pages: Mirror Sites

Mirror sites are beginning to be used to provide additional ways to access popular web resources. What many website publishers have learned is that if they mirror individual pages, they can draw in additional traffic to their website.

On the Internet, a mirror site is an exact copy of another Internet site. Mirror sites are most commonly used to provide multiple sources of the same information, and are of particular value as a way of providing reliable access to large downloads. Mirroring is a type of file synchronization.

To give mirrored pages greater importance, website publishers keep their pages short and try to use nothing but text descriptions and keywords. They often use different descriptions and keywords to alter the pages to specific audiences and search engines and then save the pages with unique names. For example, pages may be named in sequence, such as index1.htm, index2.htm, index3.htm, and so on. Once finished, each single page is registered.


Search engines and directories look favorably on any website that tries to manipulate things in this manner and visitors often don’t appreciate being redirected like this. The bottom line here is not to use this trick!
