      If i have a keyword rich domain name, but i redirect it to a brand domain name, will doing seo for the keyword rich domain name be effective in showing up on google under that domain, for the keyword i do SEO for?

      or does this cause a conflict for spiders/robots as soon as they realize the page they want to check out is getting redirected to another domain name?

        If you redirect the keyword domain to a branded domain, they keyword domain won't show up in SERPs after googles worked it all out.

          Make the keyword rich domain an information site. Build traffic for that and link-to/reference your brand site.

            Agree with @Daniel  - G has also lowered the value passed by such 301s. Once had a client who had 50+ redirected sites to his main site, I had to tell him to stop!

              Hi Daniel.

              what about all the domains registered under the same account, so the same whois info. Just wondering how that will play out if I build 5 or so of these sites?
