Duplicate content help, www vs http

Hi guys,

I know that I need to redirect either the www or http version of my site to the other version.

How do I go about this?

(I know it's a stupid question, but I've been neglecting this for ages so I thought I might as well ask.)

 

if you use Apache, and are able to use mod_rewrite, you can do the redirect using a .htaccess file.

This example will redirect http://example.com to http://www.example.com , and any subsequent pages as well.

Create a file at the root of your website named ".htaccess" and place the following contents in it:

RewriteEngine on

rewritecond %{http_host} ^example.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

 

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Rep added.

 

You can also set a prefered domain in webmaster tools, I recommend you do that too
