You want to use keyword rich domains as your primary domain, a secondary domain should exist for no goal other than type-in traffic.

SECONDARY domain names that are ‘parked’ over the top of the PRIMARY domain and take the visitor to the same site largely get ignored by Google (though on occasion I’ve seen Google index multiple addresses).

Actually I once read somewhere that it is possible Google even penalises against parked domain names – which would be a shame given that there is often legitimate reasons to have parked domain names (for example if one operates in multiple countries or wants to protect their brand-name).

Based on this concept one might register a domain name like MY-KEYWORDS.COM as a primary and then register a name like MY-BRAND.COM as a secondary parked domain name. This secondary name can then be used for all offline promotional purposes.

Comments welcome.

Can’t say the same for Google though, but it’s definitely a plus having your main keyword in the domain rather than a simple keywordless domain.
