URL forwarding and other topics

forwarding and separate sites using same database

[yaxshi]

Hi, I have a few questions that kind of deal with site copies and I hope that someone can help:

1) I own a few domains that I am advertising on Google ad words, 1 main "real" site and 2 domains that forward the user to my main site - will this get me in trouble with Google by crowding the ad space?

2) I now am thinking about turning the sites that just do a URL forward into real, selfstanding sites (writing content, doing graphics and ordering hosting). The content will be very similar to my main site and when it comes to data (item descriptions, pricing, etc.) they will use the same database as my main site. Will I be penalized for doing this? How can I do this and not be penalized?

3) I am now about to translate my site into Hebrew and Korean, if I just have different language versions using the same domain, will my foreign language pages be recognized well by SEs or is it best to do separate sites and domains (using the same database) in the different languages?

Greatly appreciate your knowledge

Your first two "strategies" represent the best way to get SURELY banned all three sites by SEs.
As regard of the third, your page/s written in different language/s can be recognized also under the same domain.It isn't needed to host them on another space.
