    Well I have few proxy domains (no website, just domains) and I do get traffic to them(url type by search) and I want the users to direct to my only proxy website. How to do this ? which is best method to this as this method sounds like doorwar page ? I mean building site on those domains and than directing them to my other site, won't that be black hat ?

    I need advice in using the traffic :)
    Thanks

    The easiest way of course is to write a very simple program to redirect users to your active site. Or you can do it in HTML too. Create an index.html file with this code in between the <head> tags:

    <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="SECONDS; URL=YOUR-SITE.COM" />
    Code (markup):
    Replace SECONDS with the number of seconds to wait before redirecting. And replace YOUR-SITE.COM with the full URL to the site you want to redirect users to.

    Hope this was helpful.

    I think the best way is to use a 301 redirect in .htaccess

    Using .htaccess is better, I'm not sure tho whether 301 redirect or mod_rewrite, check out a thread I just started about this issue:

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=259432

    And let's see what the pros here will say, and so this will help you (and me :D) to decide...

    Good Luck!

    actually I am using php 301 redirect. I hope it's as good as .htaccess redirect.
