Hi,

I've already posted this in the main forum but I thought I'd add it here as well as you experts my have a different view...

I have a question that has been rolling around in my brain to such an extent that every possible answer now seems plausible and possible. As that cannot be, here it is...

I'm thinking of setting up a domain as a redirect point. The new 'A' domain is there to redirect stuff to existing domain 'B'. My query is about the best way of setting this up.
Here's the background so you have more idea about the puzzle.

Traffic and links will be directed at the new site using keyword terms. They will then be redirected at the most appropriate pages of site B.

Okay, so the first question is, if I do this through a 301 redirect, does the link juice of a non-content related link (e.g. a social bookmark) stop at site A or does it pass straight through to site B.

Next, what's the best way of setting this linking structure up?

As you can probably tell, this is getting very confusing...I've looked around to see what I can find for the past couple of days (not here I hasten to add) but it is all contradictory and therefore pretty unhelpful.

Anyone with expertise who can throw any light on this, please let me into the secret...

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Steve

    Should normally go to the assigned pages on site B and bypass site A all together. Just point the right parameters (Domains) in your htaccess so you get the right relevant backlinks to the relevant pages.

    Ive been testing a free hosting account and found out why I had problems in content updates and rankings with google.

    It was that I thought I bypassed there front-page extension block but that wasnt the case and wasted 2 weeks of thinking lol.

    So I did a 301 to another page that had no blocks and that ment all my backlinks (SBM and articles) had to go to a different domain and the title that I optimized a bit differently than the original title. but content was the same.

    Did it loss rankings hell no it hit the roof lol it got to first page for different queries and staying there.

    Its been 5days know and getting good traffic.
