Two versions of wesite

Hi..
I've two versions of my website..i.e It open with www & without www similarly. I want to keep only one version. How Is It possible?

 

Add this to your htaccess. It will redirect non www to www:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

 

great suggestion mate , after doing this how to check that task is done successfully or not ?
hope to have a good suggestion ..

 

just browse to the non www version and note that it automatically adds www. This is seo 101. Its not that vexing.

great mate - can we use this wordpress sites ? and is it benificial with wordpress sites especially SEO in point of view ?

 

Sure, you can do this wordpress. I can't recall a scenario when I have not done it.

If Wordpress is anything like Joomla, you probably have more variations of your content than that. Check to see if there is a WP plugin for canonical urls. That will take care of all of the duplicate content, not just the www issue. This article will better explain what I mean.

This... duplicate content is not good, we did the same rewrite code and it works a treat
