When you redirect a domain with masking to an affiliate offer, does Google attribute the content of the affilate page to your domain name?
 


I'm assuming from the title that you're referring to plain old 301 redirect ... for which the answer is no. A 301 redirect is literally telling Google that your page has permanently moved to and become the affiliate page.

If you are referring to hijacking, it worked with a 302 in the past, not a 301. It can still happen, but isn't a common occurrance any more.
 
Thanks guys...I'm experimenting with an adwords campaign pointing to a domain that 301 redirects to the affiliate landing page. Their landing page is keyword dense and I was wondering if Google would bitch slap me for doing this. I'm using keywords they're promoting in their landing page and not seeing the low rates I'd expect.

mm... this reminds me... does anyone here know how to redirect a site from www. to nonwww.??

Add an .htaccess file containing the following to the domains root directory.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

It's automatic and will take effect the next time a search spider hits the existing pages with the www prefix. From there on out it will visit the new page url (without the www).

btw, thanks for the rep man.
