Multiple domains pointing to 1

[Alex Locklear]

I'm wanting to target multiple cities/markets and want to create multiple domain names/websites that all forward to my main site (so I don’t really have to create a new site for each domain).

Does anyone know the best way to do this? I know there is masking/forwarding/different ways to potentially do this but want to know the best way and don’t want to negatively effect my site somehow.

Thanks in advance!

 GoDaddy.com makes it super easy to go crazy and claim a bunch of them on the cheap; I have fun with it. But FYI SEO (search engines) will not favor the URL that just forwards and has no actual content. See my signature block for an example. Because of the lack of SEO, it's mostly just for fun unless you actually build out a bunch of individual websites.

So it's good for a chuckle, that's basically it. Maybe someday someone will offer me a large sum of money for the various funny/pun/joke URLs I've claimed over time, making it more "e-land speculation" than any sort of legit investment strategy.

My understanding is it will not impact the SEO of the website with actual content either way.
