yes you are right this technique is good for search engine...this technique is useful for hiding affiliate links for example just showing affiliate.com instead of affiliate.com/referrer=xxx.

Don't use this technique to show the different domain to addressbar and redirect to another the domain as it will surely confuse the users...
