    I see that google or search engine threat www.indomino.net and indomino.net diffently.
    For back links, I try to use www.indomino.net not just indomino.net, it a wise think? Or it just doesn't matter?

    As matter of personal choice, not caring that much about Google, I will always focus my effort on www-domain-name, unless such domains makes more sense without Ws like occurs with most INFO domains.

    I vote for simplicity. Just example.com without the www.

    All of my sites are setup with an A record for example.com and a CNAME record for www.example.com pointed at example.com.

    If you arrive at *any* page on www.example.com you are immediately redirected by a 301 to the same page on example.com

    In Google webmasters tools (sitempas) you can set the preffered domain, either with www or without.

    well i always set it to www. So if requested as http://domain.com it 301 redirects to http://www.domain.com

    To do this i use .htaccess and put this in it:

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

    You want the opposite of murph, so on apache, do the reverse of his .htaccess rule.

    In your dns zone, make sure that one is an A record and the other is a CNAME record as detailed in my earlier post.

    In the past I have posted long running critiques of *why* google should never consider these to be duplicate content based upon the rules for interpretation of dns when they are setup correctly.

    I think they *finally* got it right.

    I am a little confused. I have never really worked with htaccess. I do not even have htaccess set up on some of my sites. Do you mind going into more detail how I should set it up?

    Anyway, you can set preference of domain name with or without 'www.' in webmasters tools in Google. If you use that.
