I have been to a seo seminar and have been advised to use the .com version of my domain name instead of the .co.uk as you can register for longer and apparently that gives favour in googles eyes. At present I have my .co.uk hosted on these servers and .com is pointing to it.
So as not to lose the PR that i have at present I have beem advised to make the .com the main domain and point the .co.uk to it using a perment redirect in the htaccess file.
I just would like to get the proceedure right first before i mess everything up
I am thinking my steps should be
1. get hosting on these servers for.com
2. upload the website to the new hosting
3. create htaccess file to say premenant redirect.
upload htaccess file.
Is this what i would need to put into my htaccess file
Code:
Redirect permanent /www.mydomain.co.uk/index.html http://www.mydomain.com/index.html
If this is correct. where do I post the htaccess file on the .co.uk hosting if i still have it or on the .com hosting.
Do i need to just do domain name or all pages below it?
Any help on this would be appreciated.
