    Default Domains and URL's

    I have found something which if i can i would like to find a way of doing it.

    my site http://ww.fire2you.co.uk we also have domains http://www.fireplaces2you.co.uk and http://www.fire2u.co.uk

    fire2you.co.uk is my main domain and i have fire2u.co.uk and fireplaces2you.co.uk as parked domains. this allows people to find my site through these domain names as well. i have these dowmains listed in google but it only list the index page as all links like out to http://www.fire2you.co.uk as thats the main domain.

    is there a ways so that the links can be change to direct to / in stead of www.fire2you.co.uk so that my products can be listed on all 3 domains??

    or is this against google rules etc??

    Nope, that's perfectly legal, as far as Google rankings rules go. The only caveat is that you should really issue a redirect permanent code (HTTP code 301). That way google knows that the eventual destination is the proper location, and will account for it in your rankings (and not ding you for spammy behavior).

    The correct way to do a permanent redirect is in an Apache virtual server configuration. Here's an example:
    Code:
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    	ServerName fireplaces2you.co.uk 
    	ServerAlias *.fireplaces2you.co.uk 
    	ServerAlias fire2u.co.uk
    	ServerAlias *.fire2u.co.uk
    	Redirect permanent ^/$ http://www.fire2you.co.uk
    	Redirect permanent ^/(.+)$ http://www.fire2you.co.uk/$1
    </VirtualHost>
    If you're not sure what you're looking at there, some google searches will clear it up.
