Move the content from mycompany.es to mycompany.com is worth it?

[alfonsmr]

Hi,

I've been using mycompany**.es** for 6 month and i'm quite happy with the results, recently I had the oprtunity to buy the same domain with .com (mycompany**.com**).

It is worth it to move all the content to the new domain or i wont get any beneffit to be at .com insted of .es?

Other facts:

my target customer is spain
the page is in spanish only
mycompany.es is 6 month old
mycompany**.com** is 8 years old

Thanks in advance.

Nope. I would buy the .com, and if/when you're ready explore international SEO with it; but for now I would just 301 it to the domain you've had this whole time. It's the one with links to it, the original content, and the right top-level country code for your target audience.

I say this generally because the TLD isn't going to have the impact. But, I don't know anything about either domains. Was it used for a very similar business model/is it getting traffic, all that other stuff?

Simply age and domain extension aren't enough reasons, but if you're buying a running and successful site, consider how you want to use that content.
