Anyway they decided to alter the company name slightly (actually it was the name most people refer to the company as anyway), however the old company (which is only different by one letter) is still listed in a number of Web directories and search engines, and these links all point to the old domain. Now as the new site is basically the old site with the sitename altered and the meta tags changed (they were advertising a completely different business), is this going to cause an issue with duplicate content. There is no website at the old address, however the old site is still appearing a number of NZ search directories, (searchnz, nzsearch, rocketsearch, and a few business search things), from what i understand the site has been down for a number of months. I want to submit a new listing wiht the new companies details and new domain, just want to make sure the site isn't going to get blocked as the sites still have the old site in their databases. Thanks for reading this rather long query.	Morgenmuffel (187)

Or you could just e-mail them & tell them that link is dead & I am sure it will be removed & then you can submit the new site. Good luck!	stu161204 (123)

Now all I have to do is track down a list of sites to submit to, it's embarrassing I lost my list last time and got one from here, but now I can't even find my own post on here	Morgenmuffel (187)
