New Addon Domain Showing Up Wrong

[highbids]

I just added a addon domain in Cpanel at hostgator & the
domain is also showing up at the end of my primary domain

like this

http://widgets.com/ (Primary)

http://widgets.com/newaddondomain (Addon sub folder)

This should create a duplicate content penalty with
Google and get me sanded boxed.

It shows up as a folder because google finds the folder
under your primary domain.

The only way to stop that site to show up as a folder would be put a robots.txt
file in there but then that would not help because it will keep
the addon domain from being stored in google also.

How do I get the domain not show up under the primary as a sub folder.

are you trying to do a subdomain or add a domain to your main one if so its parked domains you need

It is a add on domain, when I found out about this I did a search
in Google with out the .com at the end and http: at the beginning.

I use the middle part of the name as a login name for certain forums & was trying
to find out if Google indexed some of my postings that's when I found it showing
up at the end of my main domain name.

I does not show up when I do a search for the whole domain name with the .com
at the end, everything's OK.

Thanks for the help.

If I'm not mistaken, you can add a line or two to your main domain's robots.txt file which will disallow robots from searching any addon domain subfolders below your main domain's public html folder.

Sorry, since it's been a while since I've done it, I'm a bit hazy on the details.

Here's what I currently have in my main domain's public_html robots.txt file:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /cleanwayusainc
Disallow: /mhcircuitsandsoftware
Allow: /

As far as I know, this prevents Google (or any other robot?) from indexing the two addon domain subfolders through the main domain.

If I've done something wrong here, could someone more knowledgeable than me please point out any errors?

Your new URL should be newaddondomain.com. Why are you trying to access there as to the directory of the main domain name?

Are you planning to have different content on the web sites or you want use redirect?

You can add a rewrite rule to change the url to that of the domain.
