Your site is indexed as http:// not as http://www.

This might be an age old problem .. but kindly help.. i am not sure what to do...

This is from google webmaster tools.

my domain name is http://www.fullcirclevilla.com

Thanks

 

If you go into webmaster tools you can choose which to use.

If your not sure which to use then I always have mine indexed without the www. as it's just easier to read in my opinion

 

It doesn't make any difference, and you're not going to have a better page rank when your domain is indexed as http://www.mysite.com. I personally believe that it's much easier to have your domain indexed as http://mysite.com.

 

Just changing this in webmaster tools does not do the trick You need to make changes to your .htaccess file with a 301 redirect. Here are instructions for doing a 301 redirect for your site

 

Shorter better

 

The web hasn't needed www. for a long time, people still use it out of habbit though.

Personally I'd redirect your www. to http

 

And many folks use it incorrectly:

Thank you all..

Barre Tire, I gave 301 redirect as I read it may affect my page ranking and also duplicate content issue with google.

 

By doing this it actually fixes any dup contenet issues. What happens is that Google looks as your site as 2 different sites. Many host or for instance if you are using wordpress this is alreasy installed for you. By doing the redirect it tells the search engines that there is only on website and not 2. We had this problem with our main site for years without realising it. What was happening is we got caught in a duplicate contenet penaly forcing our site to go into the supplemental serps. after doing the redirect that changed and Google indexes the site as one site instead of two, hopefully that makes sense.

 

My site is being index as http://www.gamehaxerz.com but i have alot of backlinks to http://gamehaxerz.com how can i fix it and get both www and none www back links

 

that's not really true..

u don't have to worry about PR... because it's the same thing with or without www..

another thing, there is no duplicate content issue since all the files have not been doubled, and google considers www or without www as the same thing.

use URL rewrite and take things slow.. if your original PR and content is convinced enough with Goggle, u will achieve the same thing with or without..

after all, PR is just a fact.. as long as you make money with PR1 while other PR5 has nothing but a text link sales.. I don't really mind being poor PR but making a significant conversion on my site.

hope that helps

 

without www is better

 

with or without it doesn't matter, just make a decision on one of them as both at the same time can confuse google.

 

set your .htaccess file to redirect to non-www
