Why Use More Than One Domain?

Business owners register extra domains for a few reasons. Some buy variations of their name (.com, .net, .biz) to protect their brand or support a marketing campaign. Others register domains with different names or keywords to attract more traffic. You can point multiple domains to your liveedit site, but we recommend only marketing with one main domain. 

Does Having Multiple Domains Help SEO?

No. We recommend focusing on one main domain and putting all of your effort into building valuable, original content there. Using several domains can actually hurt your search rankings by spreading your results thin and making you compete against yourself.

What's the Problem With Using Multiple Domains?

Search engines treat each domain as a separate site. If the same content appears on more than one domain, it can be flagged as duplicate content, which lowers your rankings or results in a penalty. Multiple domains also make your traffic data harder to track and divide your backlinks, both of which are important for SEO.

What Should I Do With Extra Domains?

Log in to your domain provider and add a redirect (also called forwarding) that points the extra domain to your Main Domain. Anyone who types the extra domain lands on your liveedit site still, and your SEO value stays in one place.
