Question
Google SERP shows URL from my domain but with other domain names
- Posted November 21, 2019
- Apache
Hello all,
I have setup Apache web server and hosted a few sites, some HTTPS and some HTTP.
Let’s say, I have the following domains and pages https://aaa.com/pagea1 https://aaa.com/pagea2 https://aaa.com/pagea3
https://bbb.com/pageb1 https://bbb.com/pageb2 https://bbb.com/pageb3
http://ccc.com/pagec1 http://ccc.com/pagec2 http://ccc.com/pagec3
http://ddd.com/pagedd1 http://ddd.com/page2 http://ddd.com/paged3
when I searched Google for a unique keyword on that can only be found on aaa.com, I got the results for https://aaa.com BUT also results as under
https://ccc.com/pagea1 https://ddd.com/pagea3
I am stumped why Google would find and index pages from other domains.
Any ideas?

Hello, @ShilpaWalia
This sounds like a good solution if you’re not able to install SSL for each site. Thanks for sharing this with the community!

Hello @alexdo
The keywords are unique to aaa.com. I will request Google to re-index the pages but what I dont understand is what did it happen in the first place.
One more thing I noticed is that if I visit a non HTTPS site using HTTPS, the domain name remains the same but the content is from AAA.com, since that is the first domain in the list of virtual host
Hello, @ShilpaWalia
Can you confirm that these unique keywords are not present and were not present at any time on:
https://ccc.com/pagea1 https://ddd.com/pagea3
Keep in mind that you can also request Google to re-index your site/pages.
If these pages are not present on ccc.com and ddd.com this should fix this for you.
Hope this helps.
