URL Forwarding & Cloaking

I have Domain Name B forwarding (via the registrar) to a URL that exists on a site branded with Domain Name A. I like Domain B because it is keyword-rich and easy to communicate to customers.

Will Google index this "new" page? Will it even consider it to be a new page? Should I submit this domain to Google at all or will they think I'm trying to pull a fast one in some way?

Should I use Domain B when I swap links or just stick with the "true" URL for the page, the one that exists on the "root site" of Domain A? (Not to confuse matters, but Domain A is actually a custom domain name on a Yahoo! Store ... the *really true* URL reads http://store.yahoo.com/mystore.html

Finally, the forwarding of Domain B is currently set up to cloak the Domain A URL. Should I turn off cloaking? Could leaving cloaking turned on adversely affect this page's current Google ranking?

Thanks in advance!

Boy, I posed a real stumper, eh? 37 reads and no replies!

Best thing to do is create a completely new site with the new name.... Forwarding and masking can be indexed but it wont do you any good....

Create a new site - make it a great site. and you can link them together.... Try to get it on a seperate ip address....

Thank you for the reply!

I'll be using the domain name to market one item that exists on one page on our website ... a whole site for one item might be overkill.

Hard to get a one page website to rank well....

Clasione is right. You need to put up a whole new site for this with different IP. Be creative and come up with 4 or 5 optimized pages of info on the product or service (or whatever it is). You can then link the sites together And get ful advantage for your kw rich URL.

>>You need to put up a whole new site for this with different IP.

Can explain why this is important, gotalk?

Google may index the site with URL forwarding, but won't see any on page SEO for the page. Even with off page SEO (backlinks) you will be hard pressed to get desired results in SERPs. With a new website you can get way better ranking in SERPs because of onpage SEO. Well worth it when you can get lit hosting for less than $10 a month.

I'm not sure if I've been clear about this. Or maybe I have? Here's a re-statement just in case:

The page on my old domain and which is the target of my new domain is well-established and SEO is working fine (first placement, actually). My intent in purchasing the new domain is for marketing purposes. Thus, it's easier to put in a print ad "www.cool-item.com" rather than "www.old-domain.com/cool-item.html"

Any further thoughts after reading this or was this already obvious from my previous description.

Thanks so much!

there's some thought that PR won't pass if it's from the same (or a similar) IP. in some ways this would make sense, but in others it really wouldn't. I don't believe they have this in place, although they may use it for extreme circumstances (thousands and thousands of links from the same IP cluster).
