I'm attempting to find out information on the SEO implications of =
testing ipv6 out.
A couple of concerns that come to mind are:
1) www.domain.com and ipv6.domain.com are serving the exact same =
content.=20
Typical SEO standards are to only serve good content from a single =
domain so information isn't watered down and so that the larger search =
engines won't penalize. So a big concern is having search results take a =
hit because content is duplicated through two different domains, even =
though one domain is ipv4 only and the other is ipv6 only.
2) Not running ipv6 natively, or using 6to4.=20
This (potentially) increases hop count and will put content on a slower =
GRE tunnel and add some additional time for page load times.=20
3) ??? Any others that I haven't thought of ???
So basically I'd love to set up some sites for ipv6.domain.com via 6to4 =
as a phase one, and at some point in the near future implement ipv6 =
natively inside the datacenter, but I'm somewhat concerned about =
damaging SEO reputation in the process.=20
Thoughts?
