penalty for other URLs pointing to yours

This is a discussion on penalty for other URLs pointing to yours within the General Discussion forums, part of the vBulletin SEO Discussion category; I was wondering if Google frowns upon multiple domains pointing to one single one? I have a few different domains ...

    penalty for other URLs pointing to yours

    I was wondering if Google frowns upon multiple domains pointing to one single one? I have a few different domains all related to my main site that I have redirected to my main sites URL.. just in case someone enters that URL instead of my main one..

    Thanks!

    -Curtis

    Just make sure you use a 301 redirect and you should be fine.

    Here's the code to automatically redirect any/all domains to your primary domain:

    Code:
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourprimarydomain\.com
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourprimarydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    Not sure if this will work, but you could try something like:

    RewriteRule ^showjournal-2.html http://sheley.org/ [L,R=301]

    Oleg can probably be of more help with that.

    Yes, this rewrite rule should work (put it above vBSEO's rewrite rules in .htaccess)

    Off topic slightly, but that is one weird blogging system you are using. What made you decide to go against the tripod of usual blogging systems? Typo, Movable Type and Wordpress?

    Code:
    # Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
    # to disable mod_rewrite functions.
    # Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
    # the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
    RewriteEngine On
    # Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
    # enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
    # Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
    # to your root vBulletin folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums)
    #RewriteBase /
    
    RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*.(xml|txt)(.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !chat
    RewriteRule ^(.*.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
    
    RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
    
    RedirectMatch temp ^/journal.php$ http://sheley.org
    
    RedirectMatch temp ^/showjournal-2.html$ http://sheley.org
    by looking at this, I'm guessing i should move those last 2 commands up higher ?
