Hi Guys. I have just registered my site and also want to buy my domain in other suffixes (.com, .net, .biz) to help protect my companies identity and want to point these to my .co.uk site.

My question is will I be penalised for this if they are just pointing to my site (there is no hosting involved) and have not been submitted to any Search Engine.

Also I want to puchase certain mispellings of my domain and do the same thing. Is this OK to do?

Thanks,

If you have it so the web server responds to all the different domains and you can browse the site from any of the domains, yes it can cause duplicate content penalties.

The proper and best way to handle it is to use a 301 redirect. People can still go to the alternate domains and get your site, but it redirects them to your main domain, so the search engines don't see duplicate sites.

What you want to do is genuine...
But as long as all the sites have different content it does not matter...

If you want to have just door way pages and no content on other domains.... then also it is ok but you dont expect any rankings for all those sub domains...

If you can avoid duplicate content then 99% problem is solved...

I wouldn't advice dividing your forces. Making 1 killer website is plenty of work. 4 is a nitemare!! I'd focus all my efforts on on domain. You can do a 301 redirect to point the other domains to your main site if you really want to.

no you wont be penalized... as you are just redirecting. If you were "rehosting" the site under those domains the yes but with a redirect no.
