Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I did option 1 on one of my websites some time ago and works fine, rankings are the same. Takes about 2 moth to get the same visits on all the links again.

If you are able to buy all those domains do it! and keep it from you competition, if you already got then, that was a smart move!

Nice stuff Steve! Just tried and works good! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your response! Yes I think is a good idea to tell Google to remove that listing because I'm not going to use it.

But you look like a big company! that's all that matters lol

This is what I like about seomoz, I recently joined and I see that Rand takes time to talk to a lot of people and post a lot of comments, most of CEO of big companies don't do that! You only see pictures of them but not even a word. Seomoz Rules!!!!

Sorry about the title misspellings its supposed to be "About to get my competition domain, now what I can do?"

Hello, I'm trying to get a domain from what it used to be my main competition, if I get this domain can I forward the domain to my website? because they have good local ranking that I don't have and also a lot of links.

I don't really want to use that brand name, I just want to take advantage of the links they already created if that possible.

Or can I do something else with the domain or just buy it and keep it so nobody else can buy it?

Thank you
