Out of concerns over the duplicate issue, we create a robot.txt at the root of our primary domain to disallow the crawling of the subdirectory where the addon resides. Then we use another robot.txt at the addon root to allow search engine crawling. Advice will be greatly appreciated. Hi,

However, I am starting to realise that if you have many domain names with low to negligible traffic you may be better spending your time building some sort of 'authority website' or blog on a topic that pays well.
