    Hey Guys,

    I just got 2 other domains which "sounds like" my main domain. So basically I'd like to know which of these methods does better with seo, etc. I'm no expert on this. Didn't really find very convincing answers @ google search.

    For example:

    Main Domain - google.com
    googlle.com - domain forwarding or 301 redirect to google.com?
    gooogle.com - domain forwarding or 301 redirect to google.com?

    I'd like the other two "sounding like" domains to go to the same url (main domain).

    So which is better? Domain forwarding or 301 redirect?

    Thanks much!

    Domain forwarding you mention is usually just a 302 redirect, so in your case you should definetely make a 301 redirect by yourself.

    301 and 302 are HTTP codes for permanent redirection and temporary redirection respectively. As mentioned above you should use 301 since main purpose of your second domain is to send traffic to the first.
