Domain forwarding any use on new .coms?

    Something that I've always been unsure about, and that's let's say you have a website called FrisbeeThrowing.com, and you buy a bunch of other new .coms about frisbeeing as well, such as frisbeeperson.com, frisbeeflyer.com etc.

    Now what's the best approach, is it better to just stick all those other domains on forwarding, and forward them to FrisbeeThrowing.com or is better to set up a landing page for each of them, with some content, which then has lots of links to FrisbeeThrowing.com ?

    You have missed one important detail. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If it's for SEO reasons you are wasting your time.

    Are you trying to dominate all the related domains, and direct all the traffic?

    I'm not sure if that is the best way, considering most people will search on search engines, and these new domains would probably not come out.

    You're banging on the people typing the URL wrongly & blindly?

    I always wondered if it would have some kind of SEO benefit, but it doesn't then? you're better off creating a landing page, and redirecting people indirectly back to the main site?

    No, it wouldn't help. By landing page, do you mean a mini site, or just setting up a single page, and forgetting about it? That probably wouldn't help you much either.

    You should really only look to register a domain name if you can realistically expect it to get natural type-in traffic (hard to do nowadays) or you want to develop it (by that i mean not some crappy 1 page lander).

    But I keep reading about blog networks and all that, and using small sites to promote bigger sites?

    Register a proper domain and build a blog on it.

    Blogs and mini sites can work, but they take much more effort then just throwing up a single page and hoping for the best.

    I found a .com last night which get's 9900 USA monthly traffic, I know that's not a lot, would that be worth putting up a blog page on and building some content?

    Is that for broad match or exact match? There is a big difference between the two.

    Ah no wonder I couldn't make sense of the keyword planner, I just found this

    http://www.ecommercefuel.com/google-keyword-planner-tool/

    Which says "Been confused by all this talk of phrase, broad and exact match? Well, good news: exact match is now the default setting for the keyword tool. In fact, it’s now the ONLY type of match you can get data for!"

    So I guess 9900 is the exact USA keyword match for the domain I found, haven't a clue what to do with it though.
