Hey guys,

I have a bit of problem that I have been trying to solve now for a
while. I am unsure the best way to go about this for SEO purposes.

Basically lets say I have my main domain name called mySite.com that
has a few topics of content.

I have also purchased a second domain that has some keyword specific
terms in the domain lets call it mySiteKeyword.com.

Now my initial thinking was that I would 301 redirect the
mySiteKeyword.com to mySite.com/keyword which would be a page
containing more related content.

I would like to keep all of my content on my main domain, but still
have my 2nd domain adding value to a particular page.

What would the best way of achieving this be?

Thanks, Tyler

Hi Tyler,

The domain containing targeted keyword are valuable for SEO purpose
but "Content is King". I will suggest you to focus on optimizing your
domain containing more content. Add your targeted keywords on that
page, get back links.

If you already getting sufficient traffic for the domain with keyword,
then you can redirect it on your domain not having keywords. Otherwise
it won't affect SEO much.

I would suggest do what you are thinking but do NOT use 301 redirects, instead have your keyword domain on a different IP address to your main site and use page content links using your required keywords 

make sure all content on the keyword domain is Not the same content as found on the main site

Hello Tyler:
 
Try not to redirect multiple domains to your main domain. This is cheat to Google and it may incur punishment from Google(drop in ranking).
 
I initially wanted to do the same but all people don't suggest me to do that.

 building up the websites individually competition against each other, styiil wont make sense. I have several websites dominating the whole entire front page in serp, but ideally i would like to have 1 website as my main, and my keyword rich domains pointed to the main. HUH? what you think. what makes sense here?

I don't see why you have a problem. Donyou have multiple sites already that you are condensing to one? If so then 301 redirect them.
If you are making a new site and trying to use 301 redirects to some how boost your SEO that is making a problem. There is no benifit at all from doing so. It will cause you to slowly lose pagerank. And it would be useless because Google will find it and log it is going away and ignore it. All you will to is lose ranking. Also if it is new it will have no good rankings so you are just making extra work and risking being blacklisted.

People tried using 301 redirects and other redirects to scam the search engine and everyone knows how to knock you down a notch.

So owning domains of common errors of your site's name, e.g., mysite.com is the original. mysight.com, hersite.com, minesite.com, all of those would eventually hurt your page ranking, too?  

They aren't competing sites, just trying to cast a wide net.

Curious.

Hi there,

Trust me, you need to take notice of what other people have said about
multiple domains - they will do you a great deal of harm. In the
world of SEO, Google can be your greatest friend or your worst enemy.
It takes a lot of courage to ditch your plans and ideas and follow the
Google guidelines but honestly they know what they are doing and if
you follow their suggestions they will bring countless thousands of
visitors to your website for absolutely no charge!

Does each landing site need to be on a different IP? Can't they each be privately registered, hosted on the same server, but 301 redirect to the main site? I was told that google wouldn't punish for this...

Whatever way you look at it, if you have several domains (however and wherever hosted) without any useful content pointing to the one domain that you want to rank well then Google will regard it as "Cheating" and they really do object to that!  I honestly believe that it is Google's intention to always provide the best search results for the people who use their search engine to find what they are looking for.  If you try to "Buck the system" to get high in the search results then it might work for a very short time but sure as sure they will eventually catch up with you and punish you harshly.  The Internet is awash with people whose site has suddenly been downgraded with devastating results for their business.  Ask yourself, do you want to live in fear of that happening to you?  Surely it's much better to tow the line and do what pleases Google, is best for Google users, and in the end is much, much better for you.

That would be dumb, dupli content on all of them, you really think! I am a professional web designer, i play no games and I have about 10k pages indexed all 100 percent unique. Thats the most important thing of alllllll of this. UNIQUENESS.
I have been doing this for more than 15 years cmon!

please make sense when you write to me because i really dont know what the heck you are talking about. Besides that fact, I know what Im doing. If its a link wheel with all my domains pointing at each otherI shouldn't have no problems however, Ive been doing this same strategy since the beginning of the internet world. Alls that needs to be said here is that 301's will not help you at first but, some people are getting away with it. A 301 redirect is not Ideal; Build the sites individually, HIDE you a$$. Infact google dosnt care if you have 100 sites but, as long as they dont have the same cxontent and do not point them together. Thats it. The pointing a keyword rich domain to a healthy domain , may indeed hurt you rankings, i know from first hand test's. But keep it simple and try not to automate to many things; like, the use of black "grey hat" tools like SE nuke or scrapebox, nd the list is count less. wp robot if left unattended, you might wake upo to a banned site. I say, take the time to monetize or link the sites individual, at a slow pace, REMEMBER, age has a big factor on domains, and backlinks or what not, but thats not the case. infact domain age is what i do. I marinate my sites for a year or maybe 2, throw backlinks to it and maintain it with 5 low to high pr backlinks only from pr 3 and up. People dont understand that having a backlink of a PR2, wont give you that link juice your looking for, nor traffic for that anchor however, I maintain top rankings, with 1 backlink pr 8. its amazing how thats possible, but it is. No matter what, If your IP stays in god with Google you'll have a direct flight straight to your goals!

They will catch you and blacklist all of your domains. If you redirect all of the domains they will figure out what you are doing.

And you care what Google thinks because you are in a Google forum asking what to do to rank high on Google.

Don't ask questions and then ignore all of the suggestions. You are just wasting all of our time

Oh I didn't know you were a pro web designer. And I didn't know that web designers are seo experts. And I didn't know that every pro is the bestbin the world.

If you've been working for 15 years and only have 15000 pages up you must be really slow. I just put up 3500 pages in a month. Since this isn't a pissing contest you are wrong and spam is spam unless it comes in a can than it us ham. You are in a public forum boasting about how you game the system and you say you are a professional.

You can have as many sites as you want but if you use 301 for anything other than a page or site that has moved and a honest reason, or a redirect from a mistype or conaical rule enforcement you are low class if you are using it to spam the results pages.
