    I have 3 links going to http://www.turboaddict.com/ and all of my other 131 links going to http://turboaddict.com/. How can I set it up so search engines wont think I have duplicate content? I tried making a 301 redirect from the www to the non-www, but it says it makes a loop. However, when I try to make a 301 redirect from the non-www to the www, it works???

    Why doesn't the www redirect work going to the non-www?

    My site has always been non-www, but after someone mentioned it to me that people can link to both and it's different, I noticed that there were some links going to each...

    I would like to keep the non-www, but I want links from the www to work towards my site....

    What should I do???:(

    This should explain more.

    I've used this on my website before I switched to WordPress. Simple to do, post screenshots of your problem if you can't get it to work.

    Since it's a wordpress blog a redirect is already in place. It should be fine as it is. Your links to www version still count because of a 301 redirect that wordpress uses.
