Competing domain extensions

    I'm working with a website believeandmanifest.com . When I did some searches on the site name etc, I found that believeandmanifest.ORG came up on top. Also .biz, .net pages. Turns out the person who registered the domain got many different extensions but they were all set to mirror the original .com domain.

    But now .com is nowhere to be found in the search results because it's competing with all the other websites. The solution for this would be to redirect all other domains to believeandmanifest.com. How long would it take before that takes full effect?

    I discovered all this becuase the Quality Score on adwords suddenly dropped to "poor". After finding out about the other sites, I advertised for believeandmanifest.ORG and the QS jumped up to "great" right away. So I obviously want the same QS on believeandmanifest.com...is it just a matter of redirecting the other domains and wait for the effect?

    Thanks a bunch

    domain tld is not a criteria for the serp. if you are using sitename.com/net/or g , it's better to create 301 redirect from .net/org to .com option
