Nowadays, less and less people read books. Their place was gradually taken by the World Wide Web. The Internet is the greatest breakthrough of the 21st century. With the help of a global network, we find out news, weather, make purchases without leaving home. And this is only a small fraction of the operations that are carried out using the Internet. Many people have long been making money online by creating new sites with relevant information. Every day the number of visitors to the World Wide Web is growing inexorably. And this trend has a good effect on business.
Web resource - this concept is familiar to many users. And what is a website mirror? This question is of interest to many users.
Surely, sitting at the computer, you came across several identical resources. The first thought in my head is pure plagiarism. According to the definition of the Yandex search engine, partial or total copying of a resource is a mirror of the site. But why make a copy if there is a completely unique portal? Believe me, there are reasons why the creation of a website mirror is so necessary.
Let's dwell on this issue in more detail. In most cases, the site’s mirror is made on another server, as an emergency copy of a unique resource. This is to ensure that during any malfunction on one site another is available to the readership. Thus, a reserve is obtained in the form of an identical portal. Any technical problems that have arisen will serve as a catalyst for automatically transferring users to the site’s mirror. That is, it turns out that the first reason for creating duplicate sites is security. After all, it is better to protect information data than to engage in resource promotion from scratch.
Often users are faced with preventive maintenance on the server of their favorite resource. This is where the site mirror is needed more than ever. If available, there will be no loss of users. Plus, identical resources are alternative ways to follow blocked links.
It is impossible not to mention the commercial component. Sometimes internal traffic is much cheaper than external. In such cases, it is extremely important to create a website mirror in your Internet zone.
It happens that the search engine gives that copy of the site that it considers necessary. And for the owner of the resource this is unacceptable. In such cases, you need to write the commands correctly.
So how to make a website mirror? In simple words, you will need to completely copy the resource to another host and not forget about the new domain. After that is setting up a 301 redirect and registration of the main domain. The main requirement for the successful creation of an identical site is one hundred percent similarity. If you want to set the main mirror in Yandex, then you need to use robots.txt and in the Host attribute register the domain of the desired mirror. Thus, the search engine will recognize this copy and will not ban the resource. To work with Google, you need to register the site using the "Tools for Webmasters" service. Further along the way, go to the settings section and put everything in its place in the “main domain” submenu. If you want to make sure that the work done is correct, it is best to find yourself which site is indexed by search engines.
Do not forget that a correctly made mirror of the site may well bring good dividends. With good attendance, you can use various banners, advertisements. In general, if a unique site has a large number of unique users, then an identical resource will be successful. Be that as it may, it should be understood that this innovation is aimed at improving the operation of the main portal and is an "emergency" exit in critical situations.
