    Hi to everybody,

    I setup preferred domain to www.example.com but I can still see traffic to example.com Big G recommends to use 301 redirects in such examples, the question is how to properly setup 301 redirect?

    You can set your 301 redirect from your hosting cpanel..

    ok thanks I have found it, but the question arise - is it really necessary to redirect non-www to www domain?

    The proper way to do this is redirect visitors from yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com. If you do this, Google and other search engines will not suffer from "double vision." Instead, you will get concentrated credit for your website optimization efforts.
