Howdy Nicola,
There's a bunch of old hype floating around about how to get search engine
standings. This is another one that got popped several years ago.
Having multiple domain names pointing to the same web pages will usually
result in being removed from the search engines for spamming. Hidden
keywords to increase the word count is another killer.
The web crawler programmers are very good at spotting attempts to
artificially improve search engine standings. What works consistently, is
doing a good job to make web pages as honest and user friendly as possible.
