    Howdy Folks,

    So I am setting up a website for somebody and I want to know what the best practice is regarding domain registration. The companys name isnt anything got to do with the product, lets say its ACME corporation. Their main product is widgets and the website will be www.acmeltd.ie.

    They want to target the english market, so what I want to know is if i register widgets.co.uk and set up a 301 redirect to acmeltd.ie, will the irish website rank well in a UK search for "widgets"?

    Will the site perform well even though there is no content on the .co.uk domain name, or will the widgets.co.uk site have any effect at all on the ranking of the .ie site with just a 301 redirect?

    Thanks in advance

    why don't you just create a cname dns record to point *.widgets.co.uk at www.acmeltd.ie and add the aliases to the hosting?
