Forwarding Domains

    Hello all for a while now I have been experimenting with forwarding domains to certain forum catagories or actual topics and it works ie:

    If you put BF2 Clan in google you will find my domain www.battlefield-2.biz will show in top position or close etc but when you click on the link you will find it will forward to a catagory within the forums of my other site www.online-gaming-forums.com :) you can see by the google listing that it takes on the title and description also even though its forwarded.
    I have tried this a lot and it works often :)
    has anyone else tried this idea ? is it a benefit or not ?
    It works for me and I feel its better than just forwarding to another domain.
    what are your thoughts ?
    Cheers

    I have tried it with so many domains and I have never had a problem :)
    I havent read anywhere that google would take a dislike to this :confused:

    I am not misleading anyone as visitors will put in google BF2 Clan and that domain has lead them to my BF2 Clan section of my online gaming forum etc.
    so its very relevant :) its not as if I am sending them to car insurance etc etc.
    cheers

    In terms of forwarding, I am building an e-commerce website on Shopify.com. I have an URL. How will forwarding my URL to the shopify store affect anything? Will Google not like this?
