page rank and multiple doman names for one site

[steve_3231]

Does google frown on having multiple domain names parked or pointed to one main ip address? If we aquire more domain names that contain keywords specific to our industry (keyword1-keyword2.com) and park them to our main home page, can this increase page rank? If we do this, should we submit each new domain name to google even though its just parked to our main page?

Thanks,
Steve

It is so common Steve, that it is ok. It can't increase pr.

If I have a domain name called mycompany.com and point differnt domains names to it such as keyword1-keyword2.com, what will happen if I submit keyword1-keyword2.com to google? If someone would search on keyword1 keyword2 in the google, would the keyword1-keword2.com site be listed?

Thanks

Is it even worth bothering with the keyword1-keyword2.com type domain names?

If you submited the Keyword domain to Google, it might make it into their index if you are lucky. If you had links pointing to it and Google found the URL, it would have a much better chance of making it into the index. The thing is, it will probably never rank well at all. Google will see that it is pointing to your main site. Unless it is a short clever easy to remember URL, I would not bother with it. By the way, if you do use a pointer URL, continue to get inbound links to your main site and not the new URL.

On one of our sites we have 5 domains parked and aimed at the main home page.

Google has never had a problem with it however the same can't be said for their competitors. We have a "coming soon" designation with the parked sites listed and the other SE's are treating some of them as seperate sites. In one case there are 3 seperate listings in the top 10 for a one of our main search terms.

Google may miss the odd one but they are doing a much better job then the others.
