When your link is on another website...Does it matter if it's linked using: http://esellout.com OR http://www.esellout.com basically i am asking if u MUST have the www. in there??? Thanks!
http://esellout.com OR http://www.esellout.com Are both considered different pages. It is best (although not always possible) to get all your links to go to one or the other.
It does not matter but use one or the other when creating links. If you use both randomly, the PR will be split between them. To get full PR juice just pick one and use it for all of your back links.
OK, I was wondering, i bought some but the guy put it without the www. and I have been doing that for all my other backlinks.
It will be considered that both are different URL's with the www and without www both are different URL's that is known as "canonical issue" so try to solve this issue with redirection and try to take the backlinks with one URL either with www or without www b'coz both are consider as different URLS.
stick one and go with it. build your links around wither http://www.website.com or http://website.com
You are going to want to stick with one or the other, and always link to the one you pick. Two things I would do... 1. Go into Google Webmaster console and select the preferred domain. 2. In your .htaccess file do a redirect to the one you choose: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Yes, it matters because those are read or I should say considered as separate website... You should use 301 redirection for that...
it does matter, with and without wwws are considered different by SEs. It is up to you if you would prefer with or without www in your domain URL
This is the number 1 mistake we come accross as to Page Rank errors. I had a site that the home page was a PR3 and the next child page down was a PR5. The analysis pointed to a series of "domain name" (the "string") issues. Consider the following: http://www.mydomain.com http://www.mydomain.com/ http://mydomain.com http://mydomain.com/ http://www.mydomain.com/default.asp http://mydomain.com/default.asp Google will apply the PR calculations to each "string", not the domain. Programmers should be very careful in how they reference or link to a page. A great deal of PR is lost by incorrectly writen URLs. One of the biggest mistakes I have made is to reference my internal subdirectories by the following: http: //www.catanich.com/printers/ instead of http: //www.catanich.com/printers/default.asp This was the difference between a PR3 and a PR5. Also use the Google Webmaster Tools to set the default domain format. It's really important.
I suggest to use the url with www. It is considered as different site when you only use the url without www.
What about the setting in the google webmaster tools, where you can set it having a prefered domain, with of without www?
