Is it possible to setup a 2nd url that points to a specific page within a site?
ie:
www.mainURL.com - goes to index.html
www.2ndURL.com - would goto www.mainurl.com/promotion.html
Thanks

you have the own the 2ndURL domain and have it redirect to www.mainurl.com/promotion.html

you can do a 301 redirect, that's safe with google. some methods will get you duplicate content penalties with search engines, so be careful.

Here's the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Page Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.the-domain-you-want-to-redirect-to.com"></HEAD>
<BODY>
Optional page text here.
</BODY>
</HTML>Code Description:
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.the-domain-you-want-to-redirect-to.com"> is the part that actually does the redirecting.
The number preceding the url (in this case zero) tells the browser the number of seconds to wait before redirecting to the new url.
You could set this to 5 and add some optional text to your page - something like:
"Please wait while we redirect you to our new site".
That's it! Just copy the code, save it (i.e. save as index.html) and your html redirect will work perfectly.
