Redirecting domains

[ppentertainments]

I have bought a couple of domain names for to use in the future. It will be a while before I get the sites done so have simply redirected them to sites in use (which still need finishing :o )

These domain names that are redirected - will they show up on google at all ??
Will this have a detrimental effect on the site it is directed too??
Is there any advantage at all in redirecting ??

For reference one site in question that is redirected is www.corporateracenights.co.uk if I have not explained this properly :)

The domain names I've purchased recently I've been informed won't show on any search engines, until they have sites built around them

My initial website is http://s352859511.initial-website.co.uk/?logincallout=1
I have www.hammys-entertainment.co.uk re directed to the above link and yes hammys-entertainment.co.uk shows up in google before the first one does

Be really careful NOT to promote the domain names if they are not websites of their own.

I bought loads in 2005 and did exactly that.

I thought I could increase my advertising coverage if I listed 4 or 5 different domain names on all the free classified websites.

But because they all flipped to my website (lee-live.com) Google BANNED me 12months for CLOAKING!! For all of 2006 I wasn't even on page 20 for any search term!!

I had to join their webmaster programme. I had to create a new website and link all the rogue domains to that one to undo the damage caused to my main site.

I usually spend £2000 pa on Advertising. But that year I had to spend £4000 - mainly so that I could be linked to any site that was on the first page of Google so I could be found (albeit indirectly)

Hope no-one has to suffer the same.
