How to Use a Domain Redirect for Traffic
One way to get more traffic to your website is to redirect other domain names that you own to your main. For example, if your website is "yoursite.com," you could register "yoursite.net" and "yoursite.org" and redirect them to your site. You can also register common misspellings as domain names, such as "yoursight.com" and redirect them. When a reader visits one of the other sites, her browser will redirect to your main website.

Log in to the Web hosting account for one of the domains that you want to redirect, or connect to it through FTP. Upload the ".htaccess" file to the root directory of your site. For example, place the file in "yoursite.com/," not in a sub-directory. You can use the same ".htaccess" file for each domain that you want to redirect.
