    I am wanting to know which is the best to do..
    I have the domain.org working on my website, I have just bought the domain.pw
    Both will be attached to the same website, is it best to have the .pw forward to the .org or should I leave it so that if someone visits the .org domain thy stay on the .org and the same if someone visits the .pw, they stay there.

    Which is best for me to do?

    I would set the dns records for .pw domains to forward to the .org instead of maintaining 2 separate websites.

    No, not 2 separate websites, the same website just wanting to know wither I should allow both domains to stay as they are when people visit them or if I should have the one main one and other forwarding to it? :p

    I would definitely go with one main one and other forwarding to it. Just set and forget about the one that forwards, except the annual registration fee.

    I would forward to one domain. If you have both domains running the exact same content, especially if you have them on the same ip, you'll get hit for duplicate content and drop in the serps.

    Cool, thanks for the tips and yeah, ill go for the domain forwarding to one main one then to stop any chance of penalties and loss of traffic. :p
