You want to succeed out on Google et al.? Deliver great (optimized) content. (with more emphasis on the &#8220;great&#8221;)  And don&#8217;t let anyone (marketing pro, sales rep nor otherwise) tell you any different. They are wrong and I&#8217;m not. It&#8217;s fine to have multiple domain(s) and *correctly* redirect them to a single domain. But remember, domain names themselves are only a teeeeeeeny piece of what Google is looking for to place your website within their index. Think of it like this: Take care of your customers first with killer content&#8230; and Google will reward you. Why?  Because you will be operating from the same mindset that drives the Google Algorithm. (help people first)<\/p>\n<h3>Multiple domains for a brand?<\/h3>\n<p>Can you protect a brand by using multiple extensions like .com .net, .com &amp; .org? Maybe. That&#8217;s a high-level business decision that should be made by the business owner. For me? I feel that content remains king out on the web. Brand &#8211; Schmand! ( I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m somewhat alone in my feelings for that one) =)<\/p>\n<h3>Correctly redirecting a website from multiple domains:<\/h3>\n<p>If implemented *correctly*, (<a href=\"https:\/\/daveworks.net\/web-design-development-tips\/web-development\/how-to-redirect-your-website\/\" title=\"How to redirect your website using 301\">301 redirects &#8211; i.e. permanent redirects<\/a>) having more than one domain name &#8220;redirected&#8221; won&#8217;t hurt your rankings on Google. However, <strong>done incorrectly, will not only hurt your rankings but might even get you fully removed from Google&#8217;s search index, without an invitation back<\/strong>. Some folks, even after clearly showing Google that a mistake was made, are only allowed back after 6 months to a year later. Why? Because <strong><em>Google hates duplicate content<\/em><\/strong>. ( as it should ) One of the reasons Google implements this punishment is to help prevent others from copying *your* content. And because they don&#8217;t want to stop making $40 billion a year. Google search business is there to provide the very best content it can find. Period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beware:<\/strong> don&#8217;t ever implement &#8220;domain masking&#8221; if you are wanting to actually redirect a website (I hate the fact that web hosts even offer this\u2026 they should name it &#8220;duplicate content for those who want to ruin their search engine rankings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hope that helps explain the dangers of using multiple domains for a
