Somebody has just submitted some articles for my site. They have sumbited them to my site without the "www", so they have been submitted to "domain.com" instead of "www.domain.com". All the links on the site point to "www.domain.com" except for these. Would these be considered by google just the same as if they pointed to "www.domain.com".
Any link is good. Just make sure that your site answers on both www yoursite com and yoursite com ::emp::
It does answer to both and the one without the "www" redirects to "www.domain.com". However, Googles treats the one without the "www" and the one with the www as two different sites. That's my concern.
you should stick with one format. with or without www. however, if most of your backlinks are with www and few without, then you can do a 301 redirect for non-www to redirect to www version which will solve the problem.
