    Most of your links come with the www. If you check google, you may see that the link: query throws up no result for your site without the www.

    Google sees both as different, and you should 301 either one of the two to the other, and ensure that all your links come with either www or without it.

    That isn't an error in google.

    I do agree with gr8liverpoolfan.

    Google considers both as different. You can redirect non www to your www sites. It will help you ultimately.

    Does anyone know why Google sees them as being different?

    Sub domains are 100% different. They could be pointed to two complete different niche websites.

    On my blog I recently had a PR4 or www. and a PR3 of no www. This was odd because EVERY back link I have ever had, had no www. I added in code to my httpd config file to redirect all non www to www. and a week later both were PR4.

    even if the pages are returned exactly the same, letter for letter, www and non www are given different PR values.

    Please look up www-non-www

    the domain with www and non www are both different in eyes of google..
    n the solution in your case would be a redirect from non www to www version of your domain.. and be consistent in using either www in ur links throughout ur site

    the worst thing that will happen sooner or later will be that you will be penalyzed for duplicated contend.

    so better hurry up and
    1.redirect 301 all non www.site to www.site
    2.change all links to point to the directories and not to exact file.

    trichnosis is correct nvidura. Have you submitted a sitemap to Google? This happened to me when I submitted a sitemap. You need to go Webmaster Tools, and you will find the 'Preferred domain' option in the 'Diagnostic' left-side menu. It will take about 3 or 4 months for Google to re-index them back to www.
