: Redirecting many websites to a domain marketplace I'm building a small domain marketplace where I and a few friends want to sell a few of domain names. We plan to redirect (301?) each domain

@LarsenBagley505

You need to remember that is against Google Guidelines to use 301's for any other reason than moving your site to a new address, or consolidating several pages into one within the same website.

Technically is possible to do thousands of 301's is the purpose is to transfer authority to a "new" domain as long as you don't do a chain of 301s

However, I will not recommend doing that. The 301 is a http status for permanent move, and that is how is going to be interpreted by search engines. This is not the message you would like to send to search engines even if you are planning to sell them later.

I will suggest to either Park the domain or redirect by 302's http status code (temporarily moved)

I have used similar tactic to get more page rank. But google undertands 301 redirections and it is indexing only main website. Moreover, it is not illegal for google but no positive effect on page rank : link
