Domain names-what do i do with them?

  #1  
Mar 5th, 2007
If i have multiple domains that I own, what is the best way to utilize these to help my sites ranking and exposure?

1)redirect each domain to my main site?
2)create a site for each domain and link back as an affiliate?
3)something else?

Thanks

Forming an artificial network of sites no longer works and most likely will cause them all to be banned as link farms. I would say create one site with the best domain and do a 301 redirect with the rest.

I dont think 301 redirection is good solution.

The best way is Forwarding domain to main URL,

But remeber One thing, Never go for Link building process for Forwarded URL

Any SEO expert would know by forwarding the domain to the same site you create duplicate content is which is very bad. By using a 301 redirect you can point it to the same website without any duplicate content issues.

I honoured what you have said, but my friend I cleared one thing that do not USE links for forwarded domain any where.. AND A lot of Hosting provider Do not Allow .htaccess process in that case you have to go for other method of redirection.

As we KNOW that Spider find your site with Links or through submission process.

Any Way thanks for your participation.....

If your webhost doesn't allow the use of .htaccess then you need to use a 301 redirect in your server-side code. It's barely any more work then using .htaccess. But you never just point multiple domains to one website.
