Good idea to point all registered domains to main site?
-
We have close to 60 domains that we are considering pointing to our main site. Is this type of a redirect a good idea? We have a number of domains that are industry related but do not have our brand name in the domain. Should we point these sites to our homepage as well?
Pros/Cons?
Examples:
<colgroup><col width="201"></colgroup>

Defintely point the variations on your domain at your site. So point mysite.nl at mysite.com. Why point the none branded ones at your site? Do they have link equity that you want? Or did you buy them in case they became useful?
-
Not one of these sites have been developed and therefore do not have link equity. You think we'd get benefit from pointing all the TLDs to the main IP? I can't imagine someone typing mysite.ws. There's been internal discussion about pointing all of these to the main site, but I don't see the benefit of this besides some of the misspellings (which aren't listed here).
-
might as well if you are not going to develop them, unless you want to sell them.
-
SEO benefit? Nah, nothing.
But redirecting the .com and .co.uk sites is probably better for the customer. I'm speaking as someone who used to hate when typing in twitter.co.uk sent me to a crappy MFA page (but somehow never remembered that I wanted the .com).
If you've already got the domains what else are you going to do with them?
