Well my main domain is forumpeers.com and I recently bought teenforums.us and I parked it onto my main domain in hopes that when you search teen forums my forum can come up. Is this possible? I am unsure since it is parked...

You need to redirect it to forumpeers.com in the dns at teenforums.us's registrar

I did. They both share the same nameservers. I just wanted to know should I park it? Just make a blank page and meta redirect? Because I want it to appear on the 1st page when somebody searches teen forums

You would have to develop teenforums.us as a real site with good content and backlinks to get it on the 1st page of Google. A parked page won't rank in Google.

Well my main goal is to get page one on google. Do you think I am better of switching domain names from forumpeers to teenforums? Will the .com and .us matter?

It won't matter to Google if you use the .com or the .us. Google cares about content and backlinks.

First of all concetrate on the one of them. I would use ather one for 3 way linkexchange. And I believe you have do a lot of other work to rich 1 page in google for your request.

BTW, in my opinion, .com domain is more valuable compared to .us. ;)

If the term you are already ranking is a competitive and traffic generating search term .. I totally agree with techno.. build a forum for that site..

You can use 301 redirect..Do not use duplicate content.......

Thanks

Yes it is for sure... I have bunch of top level .US domain names woth nothing ......

But ranking on Google's first page has more value in his case...

the .com is the main domain and it uses phpbb3.

Can I use this mod for teenforums.us? Will this be able to get teenforums listed into google too?
