Hi Daniel

There could be some SEO value to gain from 301 redirecting this domain.

Does the keyword.com.es site already rank in Google?  If so, then this would be another reason to redirect, as people clicking it in Google will obviously go to your website.

Does the keyword.com.es site have links pointing to it?  You should use opensiteexplorer.org to check this in detail.  It is important to check that the website has quality links on it and not spammy backlinks - otherwise, you might harm your website by redirecting the keyword.com.es domain.

If the keyword.com.es site has quality backlinks (no matter how many) and is relevant to your other website, then a 301 redirect will pass on around 90% of its SEO value, or 'juice' to your new website.

Hope this helps and I'll happily answer any other questions you have!

If the domain with the KW is not developed the value would be almost nil. If it's developed and trusted then yes you would get benefit from it.

All the best

Hi, third edit.

Thanks for the answers!

I have already read a little about it on the web. Exact Match Domains are no longer a good idea, since google made some algorithm changes. There are be better ways to use my time optimizing my webpage.

Many thanks again,

Best Regards,

Daniel
