Linking to my site from error domains, problem?

Site has been stagnant for some time now and I'm trying to work out why. Today I remembered that when I created the site, I uploaded a file that contained a framed version of the main (.co.uk) website and that file linked in the noframes part to the .co.uk website as well.

I uploaded the file to every domain variation (.net, .com, .org etc.)

Anyone know of a filter for this? I did it because search engines tend to be quite useless at 301 redirects and I didn't want the .net or .org being ranked as the main site by mistake!

Has my concerns about search engine 301 issues got me into some sort of filter?

I guess it is possible, although I'm not aware of any specifics here.

I think your concern about 301 redirects may be bigger than it needs to be, especially at the domain level. Redirecting the .org to the .net is a very sane thing to do. You're probably not going to get the alternative TLDs to rank anyway.

At the time I was aware the Google does not rank 100% framed pages at all anyway - if you type in any of the framed tlds into Google it just shows the .co.uk site at the top.

It was not for any rankings, it was 301 concerns only as I did not want any of the other tlds suddenly taking the place of my .co.uk in the rankings by "accident".
