    Beware of duplicate content. Do not put the same content on the .org and .net
    Personally I'm not sure why you would even purchase those domains. There isn't much you can do with them unless you have the resources to build and market an entirely different website.

    Thats a bad idea, you should just redirect the .org and .net domains to the .com domain, or maybe to the .org domain since its more professional.

    Vansterdam's right. Only redirection would be appropriate in such a situation. Just 301 redirect them to .com or whichever is your primary domain.

    Yes , use 301 redirect other domain to .com , If you do not want to be treated as cheating by google

    You buy additional domains to prevent competitors from taking your name. But the reality is it's the .com that matters. I buy the occasional .net to supplement a .com.

    I will sometimes create a small site/page for that domain and I will link back to my primary site and host it on a different class c. I'll put an affiliate opportunity or contextual ad campaign on that site targeting a similar but not exact keyword phrase. It's not that much work really. But I see no reason why you should not just redirect them to your .com and then invest your efforts in growing that site.
