      I own a domain with just the company name in it (no keywords) that I use as main domain. I also own some other domain with keywords inside that right now I redirect all to the main domain with a 301 redirect. What is the best use for these domains? Should I use them when I do link building or is better to use just the main domain? Can they be useful to increase the main domain link juice/page rank? If yes, how?

      Thanks

        I have found that having extra domains is really not helpful unless they are domain names that are likely to get type-in traffic.  When my husband and I first got into real estate we went about buying up a bunch of keyword domains for real estate in our area...and none of them have helped us.

        It is tempting to create a small website on each of these domains and then link back to your main site.  However, these links are pretty much worthless unless one or more of the domains has accumulated links.

          Hi Marie, thanks for your answer and for sharing your case. Anybody else has some similar experience or knows some useful uses for these domains?

            I agree with Marie somewhat, although we have seen sporadic results from well targeted domain names for some clients.  The truth is there are probably better things to do with your time and money.
