Multiple domain names -- any value?

A client of mine has registered a dozen "keyword" domains for his site. The main domain for the site will be the branded name, and not a keyword domain.

I know that Google gives bonus points for having keywords in his domain; but, is there any benefit at all to having all of these domain names resolve to the same website?

If so, what's the best to use these, short of creating 12 additional websites?

My thought is that he should, over time, take each domain and create one page sites that point back to the main site.

Having multiple domains and pointing them to main site is consider gud from seo point of view. But it has some criteria. If you purchase a brand new domain and point it to your site then it nothing do beneficial for ur site. It is totally worthless.....

If you wanna play this game then you shud have old domains with gur pr and backlinks or as you said first do some work on your new domains and when they get some PR, Backlinks and traffic then redirect them to your main site.

So go with your thought make one page site on each domain and do some work. After getting some PR, Backlinks and traffic then redirect them to your main site. This technique wud work you lot..................

Re: Multiple domain names -- any value?

Websites are generally used for our customers having keywords only in domain name will look like cheap tactic to implement.

If you have brand than why don't go with branded domain. It's not like that those domains can rank well in SERP who has keywords in domain name.

No, nothing and definitely no to the last one.

Re: Multiple domain names -- any value?

a big "no" to this kind of thing...
work on building your site, content and structure to the keywords and stop trying to fool the engines, you'll be much better off in the end.

Re: Multiple domain names -- any value?

Pointing the new domains to your existing site really won't help anything. I would definitely not create a one page site for PR though. There is no proof this works but there is proof you can get slammed by the big G on this.

Just work on your main site, getting it populated with good content, updating weekly and you'll do a lot better than buying KW domains and pointing them to the main site.
