    Just curious to know how many of you utilize .htaccess to redirect http://mywebsite.com to http://www.mywebsite.com

    You can't control how people link to your site/pages but you can stop rankings being split between www and non-www with 301 redirects.

    It depends on the domain name as to whether I use the www subdomain or not, but yes I always choose one and redirect the other to it.

    I redirect to the non-www domain, it just means that visitors and PR aren't shared between them. And it heklps with forums i've noticed.
