If you have a website which is up and running, say, www.cars.com (as an example), but then you think, well people search a lot for BMW, Ford etc. so you go out and buy www.bmw.com and www.ford.com (told you it was an example) under the assumption that www.bmw.com and www.ford.com would rank highly in google for searches for BMW and Ford but then decide to 301 redirect them directly to www.cars.com would Google even rank these sites due to the 301?
That is, would there be any benefit to owning www.bmw.com and www.ford.com if your going to 301 redirect them to your main site?
Or is there anyway of using these domain names to your advantage to drive traffic to www.cars.com when people search for BMW, Ford etc.

Hi Folks,
If you have a website which is up and running, say, www.cars.com (as an example), but then you think, well people search a lot for BMW, Ford etc. so you go out and buy www.bmw.com and www.ford.com (told you it was an example) under the assumption that www.bmw.com and www.ford.com would rank highly in google for searches for BMW and Ford but then decide to 301 redirect them directly to www.cars.com would Google even rank these sites due to the 301?
That is, would there be any benefit to owning www.bmw.com and www.ford.com if your going to 301 redirect them to your main site?
Or is there anyway of using these domain names to your advantage to drive traffic to www.cars.com when people search for BMW, Ford etc.
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks.
