    Ok have a question for you gurus!

    I have a site i have been working on.. making a little progress here and there ranking wise..

    i own a few great keyword domains which i'd like to simply forward to this site.

    Will this hurt or get the actual site and it's master domain name penalized in any way by google?

    Talking maybe 5-6 domains pointed..

    Thanks in advance!

    If you just pointed all the domains to the content and had the same content on all domains I think you might be penalized for dupe content and/or you may end up with some pages from each site in the search engines, rather than all on the same domain.

    I think what you want to do is permenantly redirect the 5 new domains the the old site. Use htaccess. Then you would be able to access all the content from any of the domains (if you use the right rule) but it would not be dupe content and the users would be forwarded to your main domain and search engines would only index your main domain. I'm not sure why you would want to do this though...
