Reach 3 countries (International site)

Strategy, to be present in different countries

[silverbytes]

My site wants to reach 3 different countries market. 2 of these share the same language the other is different. (for this example lets say peru, argentina and brazil)

Actually my .com site is both languages (those spoken in 2 of the desired countries and the other)

I ask you for help about the strategy to follow in order to have presence in those 3 countries.
I guess I should get a .com.pe (peru), a com.ar (argentina) and a .com.br (brasil)

Am I right? But then what? Should I simply redirect those domains to the com?
Should I mirror the contents exactly on all 3?
As far as I know Dmoz won't list all 3, just the com so I don't see how to make those visible to search engines.

The .com is actually decently positioned but
I'm clueless...

Whatever you do, don't mirror exact contents.

Word is out that google is no longer rewarding as much link benefit from domains with the same domain name minus the general extensions (like .com and .net), so you're not likely to get much from the country extensions either.

I'd either come up with decent locality-specific information to put on these other sites, or else just redirect the sites to your .com to account for typos or people who forget your url, and think it's was a .com.pe or whatever.

Thanks!
About the answer: I really don't care people who type directly in address bar, what I want is to be found by SE in those local search and my experience is that local sites ranks better.
So: how do I get into local?

Hi,

besides redirecting your local sites to your .com site you could show content (on your .com site) with regard to from where people reach your site using server side includes (SSI), thus displaying the correct language.

Thanks. Regarding countries that uses the same language I don't see that necessary and also still is not solved how those sites will be listed in local search engines...
How do I get into each country search engine? If I put simply a redirect from the local site that will not happen...
