Sucks to be British

So I have a .co.uk site that gets 95% of its traffic from the US

I'm #4 in google.co.uk and #7 in.com
Does anyone think i'll go up if i buy the .com domain and redirect to it or can anyone see anything that could go wrong if i try to do this.

I've put quite a lot of work building links and don't want to start over

    If you're already #4 in Google UK I don't really see how buying the .com will help. Have you checked the search% by Country in Google's Keyword Tool? It may be that most of the traffic is just US traffic.

    I want to be #4 in .com because most of the people who want the information i'm offering seem to be American. My thinking is that other .com domains are getting ranked above my site in America because they are 'locally relevant'

    I've bought the domain now anyway, just in case so all thats stopping me is fear that i'll fall to page 5 but my confidence is growing
