Hello, Can someone explain why if i do a site:www.***.com, then a site:***.com on Google i get vastly different resuilts? Its a new site about 4 weeks old. Thanks Late
You should only be using one. Google sees them sort of as two different sites and you gotta combine them to get the best possible rankings. Some folks only use http://domain.com as a style thing, which takes a bit more work. Start searching for things like "domain 301 redirects".
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^turkcebilgi\.net[NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.turkcebilgi.net/$1 [R=301] I think you must add this to your .htaccess file . it's a part of my .htaccess file . your pages may flagged as supplemental pages
There is a redirects option in cpanel, can i not just do a permenant redirect from ***.com > www.***.com? Will this affect my rankings?
yes redirect the non www version of your domain to www version.. google treats both as different domains so you are getting different results..
Hello, I have added the redirect to the top of my .htaccess file, now if i type in ***.com it changes to www.***.com, but if i put in ***.com/links it does not change to www.***.com/links here is the file: Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on rewritecond %{http_host} ^grindside.com [nc] rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.grindside.com/$1 [r=301,nc] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://forum.grindside.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://forum.grindside.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://grindside.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://grindside.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://videos.grindside.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://videos.grindside.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://webmail.grindside.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://webmail.grindside.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.grindside.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.grindside.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.webmail.grindside.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.webmail.grindside.com$ [NC] RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp|wmv|mp3|flv|swf)$ - [F,NC] I have now removed the sub domains, but i find that ***.com/photos/ will rewrite to www.***.com/photos/, but ***.com/videos/ wont (videos used to be a sub domain videos.***.com)
Because www and non www are considered as two different url. Its better to have sites with www. Try to redirect permanently your non www sites to www sites.
That's what I'd like to know. I currently redirect non www to www. It also feels right and has been working quite alright with google too. So what's the problem? I'm being asked by the advertiser to not redirect to www, but I'm vary of changing anything now that so many links have been all over the web with "www" in it. I don't want to fix what doesn't seem broken.
Figured out the problem!!! I founf another .htaccess file in the 2 problem directories which must have been causing the redirect problem. I deleted them and now all none www redirect to www. Result.
Its Different try to redirect http:mydomain.com to http:www.mydomain.com. Because it shows different Results. try This One Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on rewritecond %{http_host} ^mydomain.com [nc] rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [r=301,nc] You just change the mydomain.com of your site URL...
www or non-www. It makes no difference to the SE. But choose one and only one. If you don't, then you get dinged for having mirrored sites and content and your rankings, PR, etc.. will effectively "split" what you could get if you only had one domain.
you can also tell google to -only- use the www. or no www. through their webmaster tools (select domain preference)...it takes a while to update their links but if you already have established www and no www links on there i think it's worth doing.
www and non-www belong to the same domain but belong to different URLs and are treated differently so it's important to pick one (either www or non-www should be okay). Do a 301 redirection to ensure that if a link points to a non preferred format, it will eventually land into the chosen (www or non-www) structure.
