Backlinks: 0, Backlinks w/WWW: 565?

Hi guys I was runnign a domain stats tool on the web and it gave me this stats on back links:

Backlinks 0
Backlinks (with www) 565

What does it mean having backlinks without WWW? How can I increase the one without www? Thanks not sure what that really means.

 

well i had this same issue, i discovered that pagerank and backlinks and everything was seperated between my domain with www and without it..

I just decided for one of them and 301 redirect it to my domain without www

so if somebody comes in with www.mydomain.tld he will get redirected to mydomain.tld this will also pass your pagerank and spiders (not quite sure about passing backlinks), but you should not have this issue anymore if you decide to 301 one to the other, im sure there are other solutions and i would welcome other solutions, but thats my 2cents to it, its a temp solution that works out for me..

Regards

 

I have the same thing on my site. With www/800, without www/230. I think it's the sites linking to yours and if they used the www in your text link. When you enter your url in the browser window, with and without the www. does your site come up?

 

yes it does actually...how can I fix this?

 

( was told that it didn't ,atter and to not worry about it. Fron now on when you request a link from someone you have to specify with or without the www to keep it the same.

 

attick told me to use this:
http://www.digixmas.com/
costs $15, anyone have any others solutions?

 

How do I 301 redirect? Thanks

 

It's got something to do with the .htaccess; I always say I'm going to do it, but never actually look into exactly HOW to do it, haha

 

not sure if I'm allowed to post links in posts yet however this has a great explanation of a few ways to do 301 redirects.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_redirection

I normally do them in my .htaccess file but that will do the redirect site wide. If you need to do just a couple of pages for some strange reason then an http redirect will do the trick.

Use caution playing with your .htaccess file. Maybe double check your server type and just do another search on google to make sure what code to use cause it's not the same for windows servers

 

Below is an example of a .htaccess file, to redirect all pages on -> example.com to www.example.com.
Note this is for website that run on Apache Web Server

RewriteEngine On

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

 

Works great, thanks +REP

 

I am having the same problem! I have this on another post.

I want to do something like this, when people type in "mysite.com" it will redirect them to "www.mysite.com"...i believe lots of people here are already very familiar with this question.

How would I able to do this if my site is hosted in IIS?

1) I don't have admin access.
2) all my pages are .htm.

Many thanks,

 

You can also setup a Google Webmaster Tools account and tell it to count all www an non www backlinks as the same.

 

If using an apache server, create a file called .htaccess

Note: YES, the file is called .htaccess with a dot.

Enter this into the file:

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

Code (markup):

This will permanently redirect "http://yourdomain.com" to "http://www.yourdomain.com".

You will also need to add the following to the .htaccess file

301 redirect /index.html http://www.yourdomain.com/

Code (markup):

Or

301 redirect /index.php http://www.yourdomain.com/

Code (markup):

Etc, whatever your 'home' file is called, redirect it to yourdomain.com/ - note the backslash at the end.

 

Sorry! I am not using Apache...

I already told Google Webmaster Tools to point to my www. domain.

Would that be enough??

I want something like .htaccess but instead working with IIS

Thanks

 

For IIS, please follow the following rules:

Microsoft servers do not have a .htaccess file to alter so we suggest that you contact your hosting provider and request they make this change for you. If they are baffled or need further instructions on how to make the changes you can refer them to the tutorials referenced below:

1. Using Internet Services Manager create a new IP-based website using the "http://example.com" URL or alternatively you can avoid using a unique IP by using the host header (virtual website) of "www.example.com".

2. Now verify the server headers for each website using the Server Header Checker. The server response should be 200 OK for both addresses.

3. Now add your domain-revised version of the following ASP code to the default home page for "http://example.com:"

      < %@ Language=VBScript %>
      < %
      Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
      Response.AddHeader "Location", [url]http://www.example.com[/url]
      %>

Code (markup):

Note: do not change the spacing or line placement within the above code; place it as is.

4. Once the default page is online first visit your website via "http://example.com" to ensure the redirect is working. Next check the server headers for "http://example.com" and make sure you see the following code within #1: "HTTP Status Code: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently". That code will confirm the 301 redirect is being properly communicated.

 

Thanks for the information! I have contacted my hosting provider but Unfortunately, they are not very cooperative and wouldn't do any changes for me in the server.

Can I do anything in my web.config file to do the redirect since all my pages are .htm based

Thanks
