Was going to order some parts. I was just googling and a website came up that said GBfans on top but the web address is shandorfans dot com.

I don’t recall ever seeing that before. I didn’t try to log in to my account or anything, I just went back to the shop from here.

It’s a web redirect AJ put together, the site it leads you to is this one, just for some reason the redirect continues to display “[Shandorfans.com](http://Shandorfans.com)” instead of “[GBFans.com](http://GBFans.com)”.

It’s an alias but it’s missing the redirect. Definitely worth fixing because (as well as potentially confusing users) it means duplicate results in Google, which will hurt GBFans’ search engine rankings (he will be penalised for duplicate content by Google’s algorithm).

Should be possible to add a redirect condition which matches any domain except the primary one, it looks like there’s about 10-15 other alias domains sitting on this hosting account (based on the SSL cert).

Thanks.

I was noticing if I tried googling GBfans, the shandor links are the only links that come up for me, which is why I was a bit confused lol 😜
