Different www vs non www Google Search Results

    Hi,

    I'm looking for advice on why my Wordpress site doesn't show up in the SERPs yet. Also, there seems to be a discrepancy in how it appears when searched for with or without the www .

    The history is:

    March 8 - Setup site as addon domain in Hostgator
    MArch 8 - Setup add-on domain redirect & checked
    off "redirect with and without www checked off"
    Note: I did not check off the option for Wild Card Redirect
    March 8 - Installed Wordpress and activated All-In-One SEO Plugin
    March 8 - submitted About, Contact, Privacy pages
    March 8 - Submitted 2 400-word posts and pinged them
    March 8 - submitted robots.txt and activated Google sitemap plugin
    March 8 - Social bookmarked site through Digg, Delicious, Mixx, JumpTags

    March 15 - Submitted third post & pinged it


    When I search for the site without the www, (Google <domainname.org>), I get a pre-Wordpress version of it that Google cached on January 18, 2010.

    When I search for the site with the www, (Google <www.domainname.org>), I get the current version of the site.

    o Shouldn't I see both these searches to be resolved to the same <www.domainname.org> That's how my previous site searches have worked out.

    o Although the site appears to be indexed, it does not show up anywhere in the SERPs. Shouldn't this be showing up since it's been 2 weeks now?

    o What can I do to help Google place this site in the SERPs?

    o I know that WP has the Blog Visibility option defaulted to yes. Am I better off keeping that disabled until I have the blog pages and 2 posts submitted so there's some content for Google to discover or does it not matter?

    o Has the site already been sandboxed or do I need to wait longer to have it show up in the SERPS?

    The pages/site won't necessarily show up in the SERPS. It depends on how competitive your keywords are. Sometimes you have to anchor them. I;ve had the same problem many times.

    IF its already been completely 301 redirected then there is no problem on your side just continue your linkbuilding. It takes time before before you get the www result due to google will not pull out that fast the non-www on their data center due to you may lose your rankings if they will do this. It will take time just wait...

    www or no www doesn't matter. When you start building links just stick to one. If you are worried you can always 301 the one you don't want showing.
