I have my website under domainNameA added to Google search engine. And I also have a second name for my website domainNameB, which points (re-directs) to domainNameA.

Yet, if I search for domainNameB, it isn't found in searches. How can I make my domainNameB to be found in searches, which will direct people to domainNameA from those searches? Thanks

The idea of redirects is that only ONE domain name is found in searches.

So, is there a solution?
I wouldn't want to put a duplicate page out there under a domainNameB, that's frowned upon, right?
So, is the only solution to create a non-duplcate page, that has a "Continue" link?

The thing is people are searching not for the domain names, but for certain topics they are devoted to. The domain name may contain keywords, but I actually do not think they make high traffic from search engines, unlike the content itself. So make sure, you need this.

As Travis suggested you are WAY over estimating the marginal difference that a "keyword" domain might make.

Having duplicate pages that each gather their own links will "hurt" FAR more than minuscule value of the domain name will "help".

If you have a site that is nothing but a redirect google is going to ignore it. It sees that site as being empty with no content because it doesnt actually have any. I don't think there is anyway you are going to get both to show up in the same search results.

It is NOT going to be an "empty" or "no content" site with a permanent redirect in place, because the redirected name will simply cease to exist as an independant entity.
It isn't ignored, it simply is NOT there.
