    Question URL Forwarding vs. Changing DNS

    I'm a newbie and was wondering what is the best way to go when using a domain monetization service (sedo, DomainSponsor, NameDrive, etc.). Is there any evidence that URL forwarding is better (more revenue potential / search engine friendly) than changing the DNS to point to the new services' DNS, OR ... vice versa.

    By doing URL forwarding, can one optimize this page with keywords (meta tags, meta title, content, etc.) to help with SEO ranking?

    Thanks in advance.

    We find the DNS change is better for search engines.

    If you can URL forward from your own box that has a stats package, you can check traffic.
