    Hi,
    I've got 10 domain names that are French cities (nantes.info, strasbourg.info, etc.). All contain only one parking page and are indexed by google.
    I would like to 301 redirect those domains to the website Frenchcities.info, which will contain 10 pages: nantes.html, strasbourg.html, etc.).
    What is best in terms of SEO? Do I need to 301 redirect nantes.info to frenchcities.com or to frenchcities.com/nantes.html?
    From my previous experience, 301 redirecting to the root gave more impact than to individual files, but I am not really sure. Some people might think that redirecting 10 domains to 1 would make a problem, but I am sure it is not the case. The penalities come with higher figures, although I don't know how many (>50?).
    Many thanks in advance.
    david
