      We have a domain solely used for print advertising that does a 301 redirect to a landing page (a department home page) on our "real" domain that is indexed on Google.  Example:  www.bmwrepairs.com redirects to www.repairshop.com/bmwrepairs.

      Is there a way to do a 301 redirect so that when they get redirected, the URL in the browser address bar remains www.bmwrepairs.com?

        Hi Jazee,

        I'm afraid that is not possible. What you can do is "play" with the Page title of the
         www.repairshop.com/bmwrepairs.

        Something like this BMW - Repairs
        That way you will be calling the attention on what you truly wish.

        On the other hand, it seems to have more sense to redirect the other way. A 301 carries  the rank, either good or a bad one.
