I think that depends on where the other domains are administered from.Eagle said:
I use 1&1 as my hosting provider and I have several domains all pointing at the same web site. The statistics analyse separately who calls which page via which domain because they all sit on the same server.
If they sat on differing servers, it could skew your referal statistics, because you're refering to yourself but you wouldn't be able to do it any other way without transferring the domains all to one provider.

:shock:
So that seems to be saying that redirecting my .com domain to the .co.uk domain (via my registrar CP) is incurring a penalty...? Hmm.
Should I stop the forwarding though and risk losing people who accidentally type .com?Best read that tomorrow again (head spinning!)
Thanks though.

Redirecting it wont give you a penalty. To be totally sure, make sure you use a 301 (permanent) redirect, not a 302 (temporary). You are currently using a 302 as you can see here: http://www.keyone.co.uk/tools-source-viewer.asp?q=http://www.eagleimagery.com/
What *could* give you a penalty is if you are mirroring the sites across multiple domains. ie, the same content is at the .com and .co.uk.
If you already have people linking to you at the .com or the .com has already been indexed then the best thing to do to ensure you don't lose any visitors is to use an intellignet redirect. So that if someone requests www.domain.com/pagex.htm they get 301'd to www.domain.co.uk/pagex.htm
Hope that helps.
