: Will a domain(Y) redirected to a maindomain.com/product/ be indexed by SE? We have several domains with the names of products we sell. The idea is to create mini sites in the future that specialize

If i redirect that website to mainwebsite.com/productA1/ will, will productA1.com be indexed by search engines?


If you redirect (301 or 302) productA1.com to mainwebsite.com/productA1/ then productA1.com won't appear in the SERPs. If productA1.com previously appeared in the SERPs for it's own content (it wasn't a brand new site) then it would pass link juice to your mainwebsite for a time but would itself disappear from the rankings as Google updated it's index.


Or is the best option to upload that one html page from my mainwebsite.com to productA1.com?


I can't see that this is a good idea. Your one-page website is not going to rank very well and you are going to have to concentrate on getting some good backlinks. If, however, you built an entire website about productA1 then yes, but this is a lot of work.

You are better off building content on mainwebsite.com IMO.


I found out that the competitor uses an iframe that renders in 100% of the page, and the iframe displays mainwebsite.com/productA1/ Is that the best practice?


I can't believe that this alone is working for them?! Is it possible that they previously had an established site on productA1.com?

If this was possible then anyone could set up an iframe in a page, framing someone else's site (cross-domain) and get rank from it - this is not possible.
