Redirecting A URL - Good or Bad SEO

[briguy]

Hey there, hoping I can get some solid guidance on whether, my idea (not sure if is being done already) is a good idea for SEO?

Here the situation..
Bought a few "Exact Match Domains" (keywords search based names) for future projects,, so rather than parking them. I have been redirecting them to the exact page for the Google search.
For SEO I would "redirect" it to
https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=cr&ei=kupMUu7HD87_qAHD1YHgCw#newwindow=1&q=buying+domains+for+seo

Been doing a little "backlinking" (nothing serious on my sites that I know get "indexed", planning on doing this until I am ready to start the projects.

So do you think that this is a good idea and would it hurt or help my site out in the future (3 to 6 months from now)?


Thanks for the feedback..

All you are dong is sending YOUR traffic to google.
Seems to me, not a good thing to do.

Why not instead direct them to a site you have live?
Or a page withing a site?

Or hey.....here is a great idea!
Direct to my blog!
hahahahahahaha

Well if keyword was related to your blog but it isn't and sure don't want to "link removal /ect" from you!

Been parking some of my domains, not really getting rich off of them, plus thinking that having a domain with a history of being parked, not good for a site?

Just figuring by doing this, that I would develop a "trust factor" (relevant outbound link, like linking to a wikipedia article kinda of thing)



Thanks iowadawg and biggie for your responses!

I wouldn't do that. Doesn't build up any trust because it's a redirect, not a link. Only one to benefit is Google (from your traffic).

I don't like parking things I'm going to use soon either, but I would sooner point it to a blank page or a page with just the domain name on it.

If you must do it, this is a situation to use a 302 - 301's (permanent redirects) can take a while to "unstick"

Hi

here's a question for you:


if you just caught a domain yesterday, that you planned to develop into a website, that was previously parked for the last 7 yrs before it dropped....


and had you known it was parked for years prior to, would you have passed on backordering the domain because of that?

if not, then that "history" doesn't matter.


there is no "trust factor" that you have to instill in the perception of a domain.


that factor starts with your 'security certificate' on your website.


imo....

Personally, I just add a blank text page with a brief description of the site (including a few keywords) and a 'Coming Soon' message.

Nice, simple and easy.

Sounds like to me, let me know if I am wrong here. You are building backlinks for domain names you have redirected to a google search page in hopes those links will help in the future?

I could not say about this strategy but in near future I want to try this kind of method.
And I have a question that temporary redirection or the permanent redirection will be used.

redirecting long url to short url is good for website because short url indexed easily and showing in search results !

 

[iowadawg]

WTH?
Short url indexed easily?
Where do you get your notions?
ANY URL WILL GET INDEXED EASILY>>>>>short, medium, 64 characters!
