Multiple Domains

[Joe.Morgan]

A client of mine has bought around 20 domains related to their company that they want to use in helping with their search engine optimisation. Re-directing these domains to their main site and then submitting all the domains to the search engines - will this help the SEO or will it just annoy the search engines?

[Toon]

I'm sure it will annoy, Google doesn't like redirects. Why not turn them into relevant directories and have their site as the most prominant at the top.

[Joe.Morgan]

ah ok, so each domain redirects for a certain part of their site that relates to that domain?

[Toon]

I still don't know about a redirect it's just a con and you end up getting blacklisted there would have to be a user click through taking them to the part of the site.

[Joe.Morgan]

ah ok then. so an information page for example with a call to action for the user which takes them to the actual site for example

[Toon]

You got it
