Hey guys
Here is a newbie question.
Is it good to have different domains point to your main websites or should you create mirror websites.
I run a nutrition website (nhnutriton.com) and was wondering if I should have nhhealth and nhfitness point to it or serve as mirror websites.
Thanks for any info.
Sean

NEVER NEVER NEVER "add-on" or "park" domain names to each other. In other words, you never want to give search engines a chance to index two websites that are the same (a mirror). They will penalize you big time. The only way to reroute is by using 301 redirects (google '301 redirects .htaccess'). Also, from a marketing standpoint, forget about the other domains and start branding just one heavily. Good luck.
