Use Proper 301 Redirects For Your Domain Names and Avoid a Penalty

After acquiring multi domains for marketing purposes, you will need to set up a proper re-direct to your main domain name or site. The proper way is not to use the easy convenient on page JavaScript or even worse, meta refresh redirects or framed pages pulling in the main site. All these options are bound to get you into serious trouble with the major search engines, such as Google.

Many webmasters in doing this make a terrible mistake and end up being heavily penalized by search engines for among other things, duplicate site or duplicate content violations. Little wonder that many times this has ended up in many webmasters not believing in re-directs and avoiding them at all costs.

In fact re-directs can be carried out safely and efficiently with just a little knowledge on exactly what needs to be done so that they do not end up being bad for business.

The best and safest way of setting up multiple URLs is to establish a 301 redirect. This kind of re-direct tells search engine robots that the url that hey are trying to reach has been permanently moved to a new location which in this case will be your main site. The magic of it all is that any visitor to any of your multiple URLs or domains will be automatically re-directed to your main site.

To effectively and properly set up your 301 re-direct, you will need to talk to your web hosting service mainly because different servers will require a different method of implementation. Your web host may also be able to help you set up the multi domains in such a way that you pay only one web hosting fee for the entire lot. This can easily be done depending on the methods that you use to set up your domain names to re-direct traffic.
