The domain www.xxx.com is configured on site sever.
It is the main domain name.
Now I want to redirect other 4 domain names to this site.
Example:
www.sellcar.com redirect to www.xxx.com/car
www.sellbus.com redirect to www.xxx.com/bus
...
I will sumbit these 5 domain name to google.
Google will index all 5 domain name?
Google will think i spam?(not index any domain name)
Google only index the www.keyword1.com?
Other Result?

I think if you really want to use those other domains and redirect them to the one domain name just robot.txt out the other domain names.
[I konw that sounds silly, but I dont really inderstand why you need to do this. Why not have all five domains each focused on a diff keyword - bus, car etc? Im not saying that you are probably trying to spam but some would, maybe even Google! ]
Then you can use them by taking off the robot txt when you have enough unique content to support 5 distinct domains.
I would NOT advise trying to use them for SEO purposes, and more specifically to try and dupe Google.
If you really want to go down that route, than you "may" want to consider having "unique content" which then could possibly drive traffic to the main site.

If its for type in domains then search engine listings are not required, so robot txting them out is an option, as is cloaking but thats a very risky road.
If it was me i would use develop some uniqiue content on each domain, and judiciously link to your main selling domain. In time, and if you dont get penalised they could stand on their own.
in this folder have index.html
www.xxx.com/bus is the same
in the car folder have a site about car sell
in the bus folder have a site about bus sell
every site content is different.
But all content listed in www.xxx.com/index.html
Will google index www.xxx.com,www.sellcar.com and www.sellbus.com?
I hate to say, but you are asking questions which have been answered 100s of times before.
Feel free to use the Site Search at top of page, or alternatively looking at domain name forum etc etc.
all your answers are there, if you truly want them.

no worries, we were all rookies once. :)
what I was trying to say was, that almost any web related question has been asked and answered here most of the time.
I know it takes a bit of work, but the answers are already there, and should prove very helpful to you in the long-run.
Good luck.

Here's a recent thread that may answer some of your questions:

Welcome on board, Solamande. I hope you've already found a lot of answers, but don't hesitate to ask if you can't find it for your specific promblem.
Good kids! - Thank you.

Does anyone have an example of the syntax for this?
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
The simplest way to do it is to redirect requests for robots.txt to different files depending on what domain name was requested. While I haven't personally done it, something like this should work on an Apache server with mod_rewrite support:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(your_domain1)\.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(your_domain1)\.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(your_domain2)\.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(your_domain2)\.com
# For use in httpd.conf only:
RewriteRule ^/robots\.txt$ /robots_%1.txt [L]
# For use in .htaccess only:
RewriteRule ^robots\.txt$ /robots_%1.txt [L]
This would redirect requests for www.yourdomain1.com/robots.txt to /robots_yourdomain1.txt, and requests for yourdomain2.com/robots.txt to /robots_yourdomain2.txt, etc. All you have to do is create multiple robots.txt files with the domain name appended, and change the content of each according to what you want the robot to be able to index in that domain.
HTH,

Unfortunately I'm on a satanic MS server
(no mod re-write :( )
