>I would love to transfer the .co.uk over to the .com with a 301 redirect Why? If the .co.uk is doing fine then don't mess with it.... it will end in tears if you do. If you want to put a new site onto the .com then fine, but I would avoid any duplication with the .co.uk. Where is your target audience? If in the UK then you really want to keep the .co.uk as your prime site. If your .com is hosted outside of the UK you won't stand a chance of ranking well for 'UK sites only'.

Its a global audience, it just happened to be a UK domain. I'd like to transfer it over to the .com as it really is the best possible domain name for this type of site. I think I'll just have to wait a while first though by the sounds of it.

I would just build up the .com with new content. By the sounds of things it should rank well and 2 sites is better security than one ;)

Normally I would do that, however the website is a portal and I'd get people confused between the two. I think I'll just have to stick with as-is for the moment. Cheers for the tips
