I currently have a web site domain.com. This is my primary site. i want to get search results in the uk and i am considering purchasing a domain.co.uk. This will be an empty site which will 301 the user to the primary domain.com

Is this bad for SEO?

Also, are there better ways of implementing such features?

As I have posted on the identical question on Stack Overflow.

From the SitePoint FAQ on Search Engine Optimisation.

How do improve my rankings for country
specific search?

To rank better in country specific
search you should:

1) Use the country specific TLD

2) Host the site in that country

3) Set the geographic location for the
site in Google Webmaster Tools

If do a 301 redirect then the .co.uk domain will have no SEO value for you as a 301 redirect tells the search engines that the page has moved and to use the new URL in its search results.

Basically you can't have two or more domains point to the same site in the hopes of improving your rankings. That will cause duplicate content issues which will hurt you rather then help you.
