I have a main domain which is associated with my hosting via godaddy.com. but instead of buying another hosting account i simply forwarded my other domain to the other website i created which is on the same host.

I was just curious if domain forwarding will affect search engine rankings.

I used the 301 redirect... whatever that means. LOL

*edit* i am trying to verify that i am the site owner on Googles webmaster tools but it doesnt seem like i can verify. One method is to insert a meta tag which i did but it can find that meta tag (maybe because of the forwarding). The other method is by uploading a html file to my host (i.e.: www.mysite.com/googleverify.html) but i cant do that because the domain forwarding doesnt show the actual URL and only shows the domain name. arg!
