I have a client who sales new automobiles. He is required to use the Corporate Dealers Website to list his cars on the Internet. His dealership spans a two hundred mile radius and He doesn?t feel he is getting the traffic he needs to.
He has been told that he should buy a bunch of domain names relating to his name and includes the larger city names in the area in the domain name. Example: nameCityname.com. They also told him that either 301 & 302 Redirects benefit would work.
Here is my question is two-fold?
How do today?s search engines treat domain names with 301 & 302 redirects?
What downsides are you aware of with 301 & 302 redirects?
