Hey. 3 questions hoping someone will be able to help me 1) i read something about a domain with www.name.com has a higher value or something than just name.com. Can someone clarify this for me? for my wordpress blog, even if i type in www.myblogname.com it automatically goes to myblogname.com (no www) 2) I have a plugin in for my wordpress that automatically generates a site map for google and such ( i think its called google sitemap). Do i still have to submit my sitemap to google or does this plugin do this automatically? 3) similar question to #2- do i have to manually submit my website to SEs like google and such? or will they index me automatically? Thanks!
1) you are redirecting so it doesn't matter 2) depends but most do so you get your site indexed when google bot visits 3) wordpress blogs automaticly do unless you unchecked it when you installed a way to check is go to google and type site:www.yourblogdomainname.com replacing "www.yourblogdomainname.com" with your info of course. this will list all your pages listed in google good luck
1, what he said 2, no you will need to actually submit the sitemap 3, look for places on other domains where you can add a link to your site and it will help you get indexed. dont submit your site to google, google preffers to find stuff on its own and hates to be told what to do by webmasters.
