ryanstu Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 I have just gotten 7 domains park at my site. They all relate to my site content exactly and seem also to have good searching results on the web . Now I would like to redirect them to my main Index so they always get the main site. And main site will keep earning back links and ratings, not share them with the parked ones. I am Making any sense here and is it something proper to do? Thomas Quote
TCH-Andy Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Hi Thomas, A parked domain will go to the same files on your "main" domain. So if someone went to parked.com/page45.htm they would see the file at main.com/page45.htm From what you write above, I'm guessing that you would like parked.com/page45.htm to go to main.com/index.htm - is that correct?

Yes, I want the visitor to see only the main site up top in the bar. I was reading at the highranking's site about doing a 301 redirect for those park domains to go to the root of my main real site. These domains also have a much higher search rate than just my company name, and content. If I tried to match all my content to the type of keywords people look for me with my site would make completely no sense at all. Example: Most of the time searching for my business type people are getting one link farm after another (i.e. a page with 40 or more links going another page of 40 or more, etc..) Very bad, seems to happen all the time in Interior Design searches Why I don't know. So, I have made good relative content with regional keywords (regional is a big deal in my business), and wanted to add these regional domains to redirect to the main site. Because the farm guys keep getting these type of really common searches for theie names that people are using over the couple of years, So I grab some the very highly relavtive ones to me. So these park domains are keyword rich for my business and region, since I offer services even 10 years down the road everything will still be relative to my business even if I expand my region. So last night I inserted a 301 redirect in .htaccess to do just that seems to be working. I would like comments on my plan here. Quote
