Multiple Domain Names

[philjohns]

Im going to register another two domain names today that are more key word related and simply point them to my website (Phil Johns Imaging - Plymouth Graphic and Website Design) rather than hosting my site on them.

What do I do about submitting to google etc?

I dont want to get blacklisted for duplicate content or anything....

No point in buying a domain just to point to another one, it's never going to have any power

[philjohns]

Whats the best way of getting around it then? FOr isntance, I want to buy domain anem to do with design in my local area so I rank higher on google for related searches....

[Toon]

You won't, if the domain is only there to link to another site, it will never have any power so it won't appear very high in google

[philjohns]

So I could you say, host a site under a keyword generated domain name and then have the website show the domain name as the company name?

[Toon]

Give me an example? Who has told you that this would make your site successful and what makes you think that trying to trick google is a good idea?

[philjohns]

Lol - I never said Iw as trying to trick google.

I just thought that you could point a second domain name at your website and it would be picked up in the google rankings - apparently not though!

Basically Im trying to get my name out more in my local area so to start things off I was going to register a secon domain name to point at my current one - the new one being something along the lines of www.plymouthwebsitedesign.co.uk

Then work on the domain you've got and your inbound links from quality sites....

Ok, thanks Toon...

Im a bit confused though - I know that my website is linked to more than just three times...?

that's what Google has indexed. Also depends on the sites that are linking to you; ie: do they allow the links to follow.
