Domain forwarding?

    Hello people,

    A little advice. I've got the odd domain name that I've forwarded to an existing website using adsense as I haven't had the time to create content for it.
    Now, I haven't re-directed it but actually left the domain name showing in the address window.

    Is there anything wrong with this practice? Should I just totally re-direct or is redirecting or forwarding a negative move for SEO?

    Cheers! :)

    If the traffic from the new domain is not great then why do you want to redirect, rather just make one page and say your "website is currently under development however you can alternatively visit this website" and give your new websites url, many webmasters and seo's will disagree but i have been doing this since ages and SE's seems to be liking this, since it is a very pretty kind of behaviour, you are just being nice to engines by providing just a link and also to your visitors:)

    Better choice would be to choose 301 redirect.
