Redirect a parked page to another parked page?

[PeterMan]

This might be a dumb question but is are you able to do this with most of the parking companies? And I mean redirect to another page parked at the same company...

actually if u r redirecting to a similar name with similar traffic will not be a problem....I am doing this for 5-6 pairs of similar names

e.g. if you have the typo cheapholidas.com and u redirect it to the parked page of cheapholidays.com of yours I don't see any problem

now what scammers do is to redirect e.g. sfsdfsfskmdfj.com with xxxxx daily crap visits to a loan , credit card casino domain ...
I have seen many many such redirections and is pissing me off..most of them on DS

I am sure that this will be a problem as it is false traffic, regardless of the fact that it is of a similar nature.

First question I have to ask, is why would you need to redirect similar traffic?

"anchor pages" as they call them...not so much "scammers" but people with tm typos..I also see pages with "-" in them..like Car-Loan-Quote-Online.com type stuff, etc and then they have a bunch of geico or progressive typos going there, etc

It artificially generates traffic to a domain, and where the owner to sell the domain, the traffic and revenue would not be a true reflection of the actual domains revenue stats.

No matter how you package it, it will always be fraudulent.

That is true, I guess I never thought about that aspect... Anyway, I was just curious about this, it must be against TOS then I would assume...

if I decide to sell it will sell it as a pair (leeting the buyer know that the typo redirects to the other name - although I never sold such names)

The reason doing this is that the typo may take longer to opt, any forwarding is done on the PPC, the PPC is reviewing my account every month and never had any issues for 3 years now.
I agree in general that you must NOT redirect traffic, As I said in some rare cases where there is a typo of same traffic would not be a problem.
e.g. I don't redirect cheapholidays.de to cheapholidays.com , although similar names the traffic is different and the .de name will have difeerent advertisers.

You see many "sales" threads here with many uniq type-ins per day...even if you test the traffic the scammer will be forwarding other names to the one you are testing. There is no possible way to find out that is redirecting traffic, the referrer is not shown anywhere so you thing is type-in. Few weeks after you buy the name you will see the traffic going away. If u contact the buyer will say that you bought it at your own risk and this has nothing to do with him.

I tell you why people NEED to do this . Is becuase some of these companies optimize like crap and they won't let you do it. So if you have several low traffic names it the only way to send the traffic to a targeted page.

Redirect a parked page to another parked page?

The simple answer is yes, you can do this.

The next question should be then why not?

Forget if you get caught and booted. If you have poor performing domains, you want to know this up front to either optimize them or considering dropping the dead weight come renewal time.

If you have redirected them to another page, you have no way of gauging the traffic or the PPC of that domain.

Therefore, how are you going to know whether to keep or drop it?
