That is correct. Redirects are not indexed by robots.

Forgot to answer your 2nd question: You need to have your domain names hosted and have a real web site.

Nick,

I'm wondering if you could use a couple of the Point2 free sites for these special pages.  Set them up to look the same as your main site with all of the buttons and links pointing back to the main site.  Not sure if this would work but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't.

Great idea Norm,

I think I'm going to try that myself.

My SEO vendor agreed with your SEO vendor. Norm has a good point that is the route I would take. Good luck and great idea.

Norm's suggestion is sound, and would give you a unique domain/site that would be able to be ranked by SE's.

Keep in mind though it will be extremely difficult to get good search engine placement on a "micro" site like this.

Also, be *sure* to check and understand the laws in your state. These pages would be illegal in Arizona because of the size and placement of the agency statement, lack of EHO logo, etc..

Why wouldn't they get picked up if you have a domain that points to them.  Isn't that what we already do for our P2 sites when our domain is hosted elsewhere?  

Can't I have a page on my site where a domain name has the DNS changed to point to just that site but it still is part of my main site.

How is anyone else doing this?  I am interested in trying something similar and making use of the many domains I own.  What is the best way to accomplish this?

"What I need to do is find a cheap hosting service that supports iframes."

GoDaddy hosting is something like $48/year. Maybe less if you pay a year in advance. You'd only need the minimum amount of space...

I think you (we) should ask Point2 if they can provide a Free Stardard Level site without a header. If so, I believe all you would have to do is have a unique email address and unique URL for for each site you want to create.

hmmm....

Yes, SOME Redirects can be a problem...    

BUT THE EXAMPLES YOU GAVE DO NOT APPEAR TO BE REDIRECTED FROM your main site as near as I can tell....  The pages appear to displaying remote frames, from your main site, but the domain appears to actually resolve on an actual one page standard P2 site.  If this is correct...   then the site has every chance of being indexed.... IF WORTHY ON IT'S OWN MERIT without the iframe contnet.

You should know that iFrame content is very Bad Karma if you want to get indexed for what is showing inside the iframe... But there are some workarounds...  Namely drop the iframe in a donut hole in between approprate title and meta tag work with nice Paragraph headings and lots of spider food on the page above and below the iframe...  

Also know, Micro Sites can do EXCEPTIONALLY WELL in search engines so don't worry about that issue alone.

If you would feel better about it, to escape P2 Standard site limitations, then GoDaddy or some other is an option at something like $4 per month, but once you start using doorway sites, you want more... and it adds up.

I know of RELIABLE providers who will let you host unlimited domains for something like $24.99/mo and support most anything you can throw at them as far as traffic and technology, etc.

At least one of these will go unmentioned because the spam cops might start shooting first and asking questions second ; )

At least they don't look like redirects...

The content comes from your main site, and the form results may redirect to your main site, but these look they are living on their own???

No?

Actually, according to a WhoIS search, those domains are not pointed to your P2 pages. They appear to be masked and forwarded through GoDaddy.

Looking at the code, I don't see any iframing. The bulkof the pages are images and a form, but nothing is framed....
