I have a live dot-net site.

I have reciently acquired the exact domain as a dot-com.

I know I could just forward the dot-com to the dot-net but was wondering how that would affect the ability of building keyword search rank for the dot-com site?

I would like to build back links as dot-coms. How will the search bots assign the keyword values... or will they just be lost?

Should I flip them and host the dot-com instead and forward the dot-net?

Don't what to do the extra work for two sites... this is for a client.

You know me... always taking short cuts...
