Domain Forwarding / Domain Re-direct

**Cricket** · 11-03-2003, 11:26 AM

We have a domain name that we had just been leaving parked for future use -
http://www.ghost-n-cricket.com

The host of our other domains put a code in for us that when someone types the above address it goes directly to
http://www.gnc-web-creations.com

Here's my question... the 1st address remains in the address bar untill they click on a link on the page...

Can this cause any problems for me in terms of seo for GNC Web Creations (as long as no one is linking to ghost-n-cricket)?

Nope. Search engines get the complete page when asking for www.ghost-n-cricket.com so, for them, it's on that domain. The links on the page are absolute, and external to the site, so you won't get a virtual site being spidered and indexed - you won't have a mirror site being spidered and indexed.

I think the only relative links on the page are for graphics, and they don't matter.

Thanks for the quick response! That's exactly what I needed to know and now my mind is at ease! lol

I have a similar situation and am not sure what to do. I've had custom-magnets.com as a website for about 7 years. recently I purcahsed the domain emagnets.com. I would like to use my new domain name because it is much easier to remember but am worried about my pr4 that I now have on my site. I am thinking about using godaddy's domain forwarding for emagnets.com and just leaving custom-magnets.com as it is. Any thoughts or suggestions??

If you have much more traffic that come from se, I think you don't have to change your domain name. if they like your site than they will add it to "my favorite". I think not much people remember all websites url that they like, unless you want to build a directory or se

Please don't link to your sites.
