    Hi,

    I have a site that has been established for over 3 years with some good placement (SERP), links, traffic etc. The domain is a .co.uk
    I've just bought the .com domain:

    mywebsite.co.uk
    mywebsite.com

    The .com has been established on the same web server, copied the files, database, made the changes to the config files.
    Site works no problem, logged into manager etc.

    Will be adding a re-direct using the htaccess file from the .co.uk to the .com

    Added new account for web analytics (google) and verified it in webmaster tools.

    Could you help me out and chime in with any further considerations applicable to this kind of scenario (for SEO purposes).

    Thanks

    Jay
