Indexing Redirects

[pixelbugnyc]

I'd like to get some insight on two questions.
1. do redirects get indexed by google? Right now I have a blog with a number of domains that redirect to it. Is this the best way to have maintain these domains? I see no sense to build a blog for each domain when one site houses everything for me. i need my domains to get indexed by google (not just the one that IS the blog)

2. I am having a hard time getting a google analytics plug-in for my wordpress blog. So what I've done is placed my blog files in a sub folder called "blog" and I now have an empty "index.html" page with my google analytics code on it that redirects to the blog folder. Is this the best way to set this up? Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

answers:
1. if that's the case then better park it at sedo, because it will be punishable by google for duplicate content.
2. just put the source code of google analytics on footer.php inside your themes folder.

Thanks for your reply. I will try adding my analytics code to the footer file. It actually makes sense. Now about the answer for question #1...

I am not looking to park any of the domains. I'll be more explicit:

Let's say I have newYorkCity.com, newYorkCityCondos.com, newYorkCityApartments.com etc. Right now I am bloggin on newYorkCity.com (discussing new developments as well as providing info on what to do in the area) In the future I would like to develop the other domains which hopefully will list real estate properties in this area. Until that happens I am just having them all redirect to my blog domain. are you saying google considers this bad practice?

Please advise. Thank you.
