Wasn't sure where would be the best place to post this, but I figured this would be the best place to get someones eye on it.
Currently the Ext website is getting indexed by search engines on many different alias domains, here are a few that I have found so far:
extjs.com
extjs.net
extui.com
yui-ext.com
iwebpc.com
67.228.178.42
This means that search engines currently see all of these domains as duplicate content. This will negatively affect all of these domains as their content becomes less relevant since it is considered unoriginal. Also, each additional domain will dilute page rank from the content as a whole, which means that less people will find the site when doing a search for related keywords.
The site should really only respond on one preferred domain (extjs.com), and answer with a HTTP 301 redirect if the traffic is coming in from any of the other domains.
This will help our users (as well as potential users) find relevant content about Extjs and will drastically improve the search engine placement of the site.
From Googles webmaster guidelines:
Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.
