I am now down to three pages and I was messing around and noticed this: This is G o o g l e's cache of http://www.panacawriting.com/ as retrieved on Aug 23, 2006 01:39:45 GMT. Then they have another page indexed and it says this: This is G o o g l e's cache of http://panacawriting.com/ as retrieved on Aug 17, 2006 18:49:10 GMT. They include WWW in one and not in the other and that counts as two of my pages! What is up with that?
Google sees www.domain.com and domain.com as two different pages. After all www is just a subdomain. What you could do to avoid canonical and duplicate content problems is to use a 301 redirect from the one to the other.
If you use Apache, you could add the following to your apache config for your host: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^panacawriting.com$ RewriteRule (.*) http://www.panacawriting.com$1 [R=301] This would make sure you're always on www.panacawriting.com
how to do is explained by jdevalk naa,just past that in or if u have other sites replace that link with your.
Melissa - You may or may not have one, but if you do, this is especially easy. The .htaccess file would be located in the root of your domain (the part that your FTP program should take you to by default). Just open it up in Notepad and paste in that text, then reupload/save it. If you don't have one, you can make one pretty easily. Just open Notepad and name a file htaccess.txt. Paste in the code and save without word wrap. Upload it to your domain (in the root) and rename it to .htaccess (no .txt).
