    Default Specific redirect domain discussion

    How long would it take to indexed your new site.. Basically I have this main website but redirected to another URL.. it is possible to indexed the main site rather the redirected website

    For example: domain1.com/page1 to domain2.com/page1..

    I want only to have domain1.com/page1 indexed in SERP.

    If you want domain1 to be indexed as your main site, stop redirecting to a site that is NOT your main site.

    If you redirect domain1 to domain2, you are telling google that domain2 is your main site and suggesting they stop indexing domain1 (even if only subtle suggestions using 302) And if you use 301, you have implicitly stated the redirect should be permanent.

    #1 Decide which site you want to be the main url
    #2 Make sure main url is NOT directed to any other url
    #3 Stick with the decision

    The sooner you decide which site is which, the better off you will be as it appears you could be doing damage to both domains.

    Your question has been already answered.

    It's just I'm confused... how do you expect to index domain1.com/page1 if it's a 301-redirect?
    Search engines index and users read pages... not redirects.
