I'm waving my n00b banner in advance!

I have multiple domains that I am dabbling in, in most cases I bought the .info, .us ad nauseum.
What is the best way to put these to work without building content for them, i.e I want to redirect them to sites with content.

Should I
>create a simple html page with meta tags and a redirect
>use my cpanel redirect option

Or

Put some content on it and get more web exposure?

What say ye?

TIA

HUH? So you want to build websites with no original content?

Lesson for me, proof read and wish I had gone to college.

Sorry, what I meant was: Instead of building multiple sites using .info, .bix etc. (same domain name) how could I achieve SERPs with them by just redirecting to my .com site with content.

i.e. Content site mydomain.com

domains not doing anything: mydomain.info, .net. etc

I'd like .info, .net etc to get some Google time, but:

I don't want to build them, would just rather redirect them.

Hope that clears things up a bit.

You can always ban my account from Webproworld, I understand.

If they receive traffic, redirect it server side to proper site with content and disallow robots completely.
Later if you decide to develop it independently, remove the robots ban.

I'm not sure why you would want to. My philosophy has always been that having one website in an area is much more effect then having several. The reason for this is if you concentrate all your link building time on one site, instead of spreading the time around you end up with one site that can achieve more rankings then a handful of other sites.

That being said there are some nefarious tactics I can think of with having multiple domains but there grayish hat and not something I'd disclose on the forums

Everyone, thanks for the input
I've decided to go ahead and do something with the domains after all, wish I never bought the extra domains, kind of dumb in hindsight. Well compared to my first few months in this game that is not the dumbest thing I've done : )

Definitely not getting rich blogging...

Hello-

Why would you disallow the robots? Thanks in advance.

Several domains with the same content cause duplicate issues and only one is being chosen as the main one.
In the case you later need an original content on one of them it is much easier to lift the robots ban than to convince search engines that the domain don't belong to the other site anymore.

Its better not to do anything than to redirect several other TLDs to one .Com site.
If you have some purpose for all the domains its ok but if you don't then just park all other domains and concentrate on one single site. By this noe of your competitors will be able to buy a domain similar to your's with a different TLD and you will save some bucks.
