PR Question: Forward URLs

[jjfletch]

This could be a dumb question, but does anyone know how page ranking works for forwarded URLs?

If I own yummy.com* and have optimized it for search engines, and then forward another domain, say, waffles.com* to it, then will search engines consider waffles.com equally optimized?

That make sense? Basically, I want to know if I can achieve the same PR for both domains, even though one is forwarded.

* Oh, I don't own either of these, just using it for an example.

Does anyone know an answer to this, or is there another forum someone could recommend? Thanks.

Search engines (i only talk about Google here, forget about the rest for the moment) will consider the optimized domain, in your example yummy.com.
Same with PageRank.
If the inbound links that are responsible for the PR of your Domain link to Yummy.com, Yummy.com will gain the PR.
Better try to optimize without redirection.

avoid redirection

all redirects are BAD, but 301 redirect is NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
