Having 2 links to the same site

[swheller]

Hi,

I had previously designed a site for a client and got their site listed in Google but recently they went bust but they paid for their site to be up for another year. I just designed another site for a partner of theirs and submitted to Google.

Now to try and get more hits to the new site I asked the owners of the company that went bust if it was alright to redirect their url to their partners new site so that their partner would get the customers.

To recap this url www.arcatura.co.uk redirects to www.parcdesignstudio.com.

I submitted the parc design site to google and waited and within 3 weeks if you typed in 'parc design studio' in came in at No 1 but with the arcatura domain name.

So the question is:- Why hasn't Google indexed the Parc Design site with the correct domain name and does Google punish you for having 2 site go to the same domain?

Hope that makes sense.

Regards

Steve
