Thanks for the responses. I'll try to get a hold of the htaccess file and setup a 301 redirect. Thanks again!

Optimal redirect configuration from a misspelled domain that we own.posted in Web Design
We have a handful of inbound links to www.t-chek.com (note the hyphen). Our normal site is www.tchek.com (no hyphen).
We own both domains and have some sort of domain-wide redirect set up now. This works fine for traffic, but I suspect it's not optimal for SEO purposes. I came to this conclusion by looking in OSE and noticing that none of the inbound links to www.t-chek.com were also being attributed to www.tchek.com.
2 questions:
Is it immediately evident what type of redirect I have in place now, or do I need to figure that out?
Is the fix as simple as editing the .htaccess file on the hyphenated domain?
I don't have direct control over the hyphenated domain, and I'd like to be able to know exactly what we need to do so I can request help from my IT department.
I'd appreciate hearing your wisdom. Thanks!
