Url Question...

I have a friend in real estate and he would like to do some optimization to his site. Although I understand that the whole realty niche is saturated, he's from a smaller town and we can grab local traffic rather easily.

My question is, he owns a domain that when you enter his website address i.e. www.hisownname.com it forwards you to www.hisrealtycompany.com/hisownname

How do you go about optimizing that? When you get directed, it's his actual page, but it's under his realty company's website.... Make sense?

At first, I didn't think it was possible, but If I type in a few of his keywords, his site does infact come up.

Is a url that is forwarded/redirected optimizable?

      If he wants to make a website that creates traffic for the company website, he should've created a blog about the company.
      A 301 redirect shouldn't be any problem to Google, the "G" will just pass the link juice to the destination page!

        Thats true, if he wants to rank for the redirected page, if he wants to rank for hisname.com a 301 will not help

    Does he want to rank for hisownname.com? If so then put the relevant content on that domain, you can always include an iframe to pull the content from hisrealtycompany.com/hisownname into this site, if it has content that cannot be replicated.
