I have a wordpress site which is located at a .com address. The site is a simple 4 page personal site with my academic credentials, publications and a health blog that I started.

I have done quite a bit of seo and I rank pretty high for the keywords i want on google.co.uk. However, I do not rank at all on google.com.mt which is the Malta specific search.

I have therefore just bought the .com.mt domain and pointed the DNS nameservers to my current host provider and redirected it to the .com address.

My goal is to make sure I don't screw up my google.co.uk search ranking, while starting to rank on google.com.mt

I'm I doing the right thing or do you have any suggestions??

I would implement Maltese versions of your pages and set the language in the <html> tag with the lang attribute. Then, I would set hreflang meta tags in your pages too to help search engines serve them properly.

With this, English pages will be served in the English speaking community and Maltese pages will be served in the Maltese speaking community. Your existing SEO efforts should be safe.
