Question about SEO on redirect domains

[ryder553]

Hello Warriors,
I have a difficult question (for me at least).

I am currently making a blog that is reviewing another website's services.
Example: website-review.com

I have also purchased .ORG, .NET, and .INFO of the actual domain, and I plan on redirecting these to my review site.

Is there anything I can do for SEO on these redirect websites?
Also, is it a 301 redirect what I'd want to do?

Thanks a lot guys!

EDIT: Should I do SEO on my redirect domains?

Used these coding for 301 redirect..I hopeful its working for your websites.

ColdFusion Redirect

<.cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Moved permanently">
<.cfheader name="Location" value="http://www.new-url.com">

PHP Redirect

<?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.new-url.com" );
?>

ASP Redirect

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location","http://www.new-url.com/"
%>

ASP .NET Redirect

<script runat="server">
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";
Response.AddHeader("Location","http://www.new-url.com");
}
</script>

JSP (Java) Redirect

<%
response.setStatus(301);
response.setHeader( "Location", "http://www.new-url.com/" );
response.setHeader( "Connection", "close" );
%>

CGI PERL Redirect

$q = new CGI;
print $q->redirect("http://www.new-url.com/");

Ruby on Rails Redirect

def old_action
headers["Status"] = "301 Moved Permanently"
redirect_to "http://www.new-url.com/"
end

Redirect Old domain to New domain (htaccess redirect)

Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all your directories and pages of your old domain will get correctly redirected to your new domain.
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Please REPLACE www.newdomain.com in the above code with your actual domain name.

In addition to the redirect I would suggest that you contact every backlinking site to modify their backlink to point to your new website.

Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.


Redirect to www (htaccess redirect)

Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all requests coming in to domain.com will get redirected to www.domain.com
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Please REPLACE domain.com and www.newdomain.com with your actual domain name.

Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.

So Tom, should I only use one method?

definately if you are using php in your website then you need to use php redirect.

301 redirect would be a good choice. If you have enough time and resources to promote those redirect websites first, you can generate traffic and link juice from them. If they are all new and you didn't promote before, just a 301 will be fine.

Yes, You use any one of them

You ideas doesn't sound great to me...
First thing, your main domain will not get instant boost with those redirected domains. You have to optimize them first. And, managing so many websites i really difficult.

So should I do SEO on my redirect domains?

Bump this post up!

I'm not sure it'd be worthwhile spending any SEO efforts on them before redirecting them instead of spending those same SEO efforts on your main site. I say just do the 301 redirects.
