website is resolving to the wrong place DNS
i do SEO to get clients websites found on google but i have a huge problem:
my clients website is being found under many URL's. this is very bad as google might think the content has been duplicated.
i think its a dns problem...
i noticed this when doing a google search for: annie fontaine life coach
i was expecting to see her being found on google under her url of http://anniefontainelifecoach.co.uk/
but i see her website title and description show under the following URL's www.thesearchengineoptimisationcompany.com/
server109-228-22-174.live-
server109-228-22-174.live-
server109-228-22-174.live-
the clients website is hosted on my companies virtual server rented from fasthosts.co.uk
the odd thing is that when clicking on the top link that has this url:
www.thesearchengineoptimisationcompany.com/ it loads the content from tseoc2.co.uk but under thesearchengineoptimisatio
we do not own thesearchengineoptimisatio
we do own thesearchengineoptimisatio
i need to fix it so that google does not see manny links to my clients website. can any one help please. thank you.

They also copied your Olly Lloyd site as well, but it looks like an older version.
In case you don't where to report to Google

www.thesearchengineoptimisationcompany.com/ and tseoc.Co.UK both are showing the same errors on the concrete 5 install so i dont think it's a matter of duplication its something sort of mixed url resolving and http://anniefontainelifecoach.co.uk/ is also involved in this problem but I don't know what to do about it.

I know my virtual server is running php 5.1 so both urls are resolving to my virtual servers ip the only thing is I don't own http://www.thesearchengineoptimisationcompany.com/ but it is resolving to my virtual server.
They could be pointing to your domain to steal your content for future marketing...
tseoc.Co.UK resolves to your main website.
Their nameservers are different,they could be doing 302 redirect or just pointing their nameservers to you.
Just block all referring traffic from their domain

sorry i made a typo. tseoc.co.uk i own and i have redirected it to my main site http://www.thesearchengineoptimisationcompany.co.uk
so that should be like that.
tseoc2.co.uk i own as well and i was in the middle of installing a cms on it thats why it shows the install page.
http://www.thesearchengineoptimisationcompany.com (i dont own) is showing what is on tseoc2.co.uk and it is showing the exact install errors so it seems that domain is linked to my virtual server but i haven't setup a domain for that url on my plesk panel

They are probably just cloaking your domain/s.
You can block this in the htaccess like the following,
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} thesearchengineoptimisatio
RewriteRule .* - [F]
Or be nasty and refer them to some bad site....
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.http://www.somebadsite\.com/$1 [L,R=301]
(Make it a permanent redirect)
Edit
Not sure of your setup but you may be able to just put into your httpd.conf file and use it for all sites...

ok my business partner said he did buy thesearchengineoptimisatio
but it is with a dirent provider than we normaly use. its name servers are also not pointing over to our hosting.
i created i hosting for it today and it is linking to our virtual server (some how... not by dns)
i did a 301 redirect from thesearchengineoptimisatio
i am just hopeing that the mess with google will sort its self out... annie fontains website is not being found under thesearchengineoptimisatio

webmaster tools shows that non of the pages on annie fontains website have been indexed yet. and it shows that the pages are not selected. and webmaster tools shows odd keywords in the health section.
i think google may have thought that the website is spammy as it was merged with those other domains via the DNS issue.
so i have done a reconsideration request to google but it says that could take 7 weeks :( i realy need this website to get indexed.
do you have any idears on what else i could try to get this indexed?
all the on site optimisation work has been done.

I assume you have a sitemap loaded in GWT
ASKER
http://www.anniefontainelifecoach.co.uk/sitemap.xml
yes i have submitted a xml sitemap to webmaster tools
it says one page is indexed in GWT and the rest are not selected :O

ASKER
and i have no robots.txt stopping anything
How long has it been up, it can take weeks before it looks beyond the index page.
There are currently three pages indexed - home,contact and weight.
Give it chance it will index them all eventually

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Send them a Cease and Desist letter - probably waste of time .
Contact their upstream provider - probably waste of time (but can work)
Send a DMCA letter to Google - they will check out who owns the content and remove the offender (eventually)
Do you have a link to her site on your site?
Edit.
The DNS isn't a problem since the nameservers registered for the site are yours.
