: How to properly URL/domain forward No clue on a title for this, someone feel free to suggest an edit. I have a client that has a website. He owns around 200 domains, and wants each domain

It sounds like what you're describing are microsites.

You might find that the reaction to this idea is not very good. See this for more as to why: Microsites. A Bad Idea Most of the Time, as referenced by Matt Cuts in his video discussing them here: What's your opinion on microsites?

As covered in those, a few microsites may not impact your SEO results, but several hundred might. I would advise your client that he's better off building up his main site instead of spreading authority out over multiple sites, that might appear "spammy", and could be impacted by Google's Panda update which combats "domain farms". See this for more on that: Google Forecloses On Content Farms With “Panda” Algorithm Update

It might prove difficult to maintain all these sites as well (e.g., submitting each to search engines, managing links, avoiding domain expiration's, etc...), which might be better spent on improving the main site.

So my answer here is that the concerns and considerations might outweigh the motivation to do this, and the need to figure out how to approach forwarding/redirects.
