Hi,

If I dropcatch a domain that is related to my website and has some links/pagerank/traffic what is is the best way to pass on that good stuff to my main website.

Is it:

a) Create a one page website saying - "this site has moved click here to view the new site" perhaps with a automatic redirect after a few seconds

b) http redirect

c) full page frame redirect

Thanks for any advice, I'm new here by the way.

You should be able to set up a redirect from your domain management cp. If not then a meta refresh would work fine.

Rich :cool:
 
i understood it was just a domain without hosting

if this is teh case forget the redirect in teh domain management ( frame redirects and all that junk )

create a .htaccess and add teh following line ( / redirects everything after the domain name to wherever

redirect / http://ww.mydomain.com
 
Surely if the domain is without hosting there is no where to host an .htaccess... :rolleyes:

My main concern is about transferring some of the pagerank from the dropcatched domain to the existing site domain, I figured the type of forwarding used would have some effect on this (I have both domains hosted).
