Is it ok to redirect

idreams

Hello

my question is presently we holding one .com for our website and i see in analytics some time people typing .es version of our site too..

which is not registered yet. is it ok to buy that .es extension and do a redirect to our .com version ?

thanks

I definitely would.

Major companies do that all the time, not only with various domain extensions, but also with mis-spelled domains.

Quick example:

one more question. as you said mis-spelled domains

like i see pixmanai.es/ this domian which is owned by pixmania.es. they kept a landing page for that. is it worth puting a page and redirect the user

or just a wildcard redirect ?

Personally I would just do the "wildcard" redirect.

I think doing it with a landing page wouldn't be the most user friendly method of redirecting.

If the redirect is done correctly then you won't be penalized. Use a 301. And yes, you should absolutely do it.

thanks for the responses. i will buy the .es extension and few mis-spelled domains..
