Hi,
I've made a mirror site (with a different domain name) that I'm working on getting listed but I 've been told that Google will not index a mirror site. There's a trickle of business coming in on the old site (900 visits/month average 16 bookings) so we don't want to cancel it till the new one is up and running better.
However, if I can't get it indexed, it will never show up on the SERP right?
What do I do? Do I have to turn off the other site?
thanks,
Stephen

From what I understand, you do not want to post the mirror site online because Google will penalize both your site and the mirror site for having duplicate content.

Bingo. Use a 301 redirect to send folks from your old site directly to the new site.
