About 14 years ago I registered a .com address. The company I registered the domain made it very difficult for me to transfer the domain to another host, so in preparation to launch, I grabbed the .net domain. Unbeknownst to me at the time, this would become the domain that google indexed, even when I got the .com back.
I would really rather the site be known as .com.
As I prepare to launch an updated site where I had to change the structure, will the search engines go completely mad if I add redirects to the .com address? All of my social media links and referral sites link to .net. Is it even worth it? Or should I continue to brand myself as .com even though anyone who were to manually type in the address would end up on my .net domain?
Thoughts?
