        Well, are these all brand new domains ? Are you trying to get type in traffic directly to those pages via those domain names ? Will those domains be 301'd to those said pages ?

          Yes these will be new domains. The Idea is to have an exact match in the domain for better rankings. To domains will not be 301'd.

          Here is an example: There are 3 pages: home, about us and contact.
          All pages can be found trough: website.com, website.com/about_us & website.com/contact

          However it is also possible to find them trough

          home.com about-us.com and contact.com

            If you don't 301 them, that means the content on website.com/about_us is the same as on about-us.com and that's going to lead to duplicate content issues.

            I would suggest looking into the value of doing 150 domains. Are they needed ? Do you need to do those domains ?

            The only way for you to do this is either doing a 301 redirect or a cross domain canonical, either way only version of those 2 pages should be found using Google to avoid any duplicate content issues / penalty.

              Once more thank you for your time.

              Will the domain still hold it's exact match value for the domain if it's 301'd? 
              I'm not looking into buying a 150, I'm looking into 13.

              Thanks again, Jason.

                Well, not really. There's very little value there (if any at all). If you think there's type-in traffic or if the domains had existing websites you were organizing into 1 website, it would have made sense. But in this case, I think it does not make sense.

                  hmmm thats to bad. What if I made separate pages for the domains? Like landing pages?

                    These are microsites, it can work for you but it's dangerous. Same, hosting, same registration info of domain name, same GA accounts etc are all tip offs to Google that you are domain spamming. All sites could get penalized across the board.

                    Single page landing page domain names for pages like about us type sections is not a good idea, make a strong site for that. If you want to create separate domain names for high competition keywords that makes more sense, but do not expose ownership and definitely don't interlink or build a similar incoming link profile.

                      Thanks for your reply,

                      in this case it's a webshop, the about us and contact ware just as an example.
                      Did I understand your reply right if I say  I have to create seperate (webshops in my case) in order to avoid getting penalized?

                      Kind regards,
                      Jason.
