    I am not sure if I am going to shoot myself in the foot or not so I ask you for some guidance.
    I have a site for accommodation in a town with name AAA BBB the name is two words.
    I have a guest house and selfcatering house and built the site with following domain www.aaabbbaccommodation.org.
    The site is not doing to bad, currently top of page 2 in google when one searches for "aaa bbb accommodation".
    I have now also bought domain name www.aaabbbguesthouse.com and www.aaa-bbb-accommodation.com. I bought them to stop competition and maybe they are usefull later.
    My plan was to point or redirect them to the original www.aaabbbaccommodation.org.
    Is this a bad thing to do from a seo or google point of view, or how best can i do it, and in your opinion which domain name would be the best in google?
    If you want the real site names please pm.

    Well, which site is the best for you depends on what you want to rank for the most..

    If you are very dedicated and willing to put in the hard work, you could consider building the two websites to promote your major website. Like two "departments" of your competition :) If you have two sites ranked well in google promoting your major site, that is a good thing.

    This, of course, is written not knowing how much time you have spent on the first site, and only for your consideration :)

    Its not bad to redirect the other domains to the main one.

    But what you should do is actually create unique sites for the other domains and aim to occupy as much of the first page as possible.

    Unique site means, unique content not borrowed from the main site. Starting now is better then waiting for the competition to get into the game.
