    Hello Everyone,

    some links of my website show in google with www. and some are without www.

    I need to redirect all the links on www.

    Can anyone tell me what is the process to do this?

    Thanks in advance for the answer.

    I'd tell you but then I may get hammered by somebody saying it'll destroy your rankings ;)

    In your .htaccess file type in 
    Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)   http://www.example.com/$1  [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
    That will permanently redirect visitors AND spiders to the www subdomain ;)

    Open up notepad, copy that.

    Hit file-->save as and save it as .htaccess, nothin else.

    Upload it to the main directory wth ftp.

    Login to your google webmaster tools account -> Settings -> Preferred Domain -> Display URLs as www. example .com This should do the trick.

    Btw. this shouldn't affect the SERP, at least based on my experience it doesn't

    It will effect him/her if the site is already established, and may even more if it were an e-commerce site. There are quite an few other important variables to take into effect, however if the OP isn't that concerned then so be it :)

    Just make sure to change example.com to your own domain. :)
