Companies do invest in potential type ins, misspellings, perfect product category coms and nets, and use the 301 redirect as the permanent redirect, the method Google recommends for multiple domains. If the redirect is done after the page is hit as a scripted redirect, then it can be misleading the user. That might be construed as misuse. Many old sites have been using domain aliases for the type in value they have, such as major sites that hold 20 year old single keyword word type in domains and have done it for years. 301 Redirects are recommended by google. Domain Aliases are what we use. The big guys get away with worse. Search the word Loans, and who has loans dot com, how does it show up, and where does it redirect to, after Loans dot com is searched and hit? They take much more of a chance than we do! The keywords are not misleading however, and the end target domain is well related. I think intent with the redirect makes a big difference. It doesn't take you to male enhancement, a misleading use. Many old, high ranking sites use the 301 Redirect. Search Movie, singular, and Movies dot com shows up. They own Movie dot com too. If you type it in, then it will redirect to Movies dot com. That is an alias application, clean, sweet, and no penalties, but it does help search. Just because you own your keyword domain like Loans, does not mean it does not benefit you as an alias. We prefer alias 301 redirect as the cleanest application. I would admit this to my mother. I would be proud to tell my friends. Just make sure it is not misleading. Generic domains are recognized for their natural traffic and are hard to get. They are recognized for their value, and frequently owned by someone from that industry. 301, permanently redirected multiple key word domain names are used all the time, and have been for years.
