dog.com to www.dog.com

Google gives both of these different rankings. I submitted sitemaps
for both even though they are the same to try to improve the 4 on
dog.com or get google to just see www.dog.com as the site. I want it so
the better PR of www.dog.com gets all of my traffic. How do I set up a
redirect from http://dog.com to www.dog.com? Also, is the redirect from
www.allpets.com to www.dog.com set up correctly? I checked the header
info and it says 301 error instead of 301 redirect. Could this be
adversly affecting my site?

Also, why is it that when I do a keyword density check of my home page #1 and #2 for the keywords are dog and supplies. But when I search through Google, I rank 15th. Why is that? How can I rank better?

Thanks for your help.

 

I think dct has a good post on his blog telling how to do this.

Hope it works for you.

 

First time I've ever come across a 301 error
How are we to say whether you've setup the redirection correctly when you haven't told us how you've attempted to do it ??
There are numerous ways of doing a redirect. I'm not familiar with using IIS5 but a quick search for '301 redirect iis5' shows that the reason code is irrelevant - which would explain why the 301 still works.
Here's a thread on this board that discusses the redirection with IIS5 (found through exactly the same search).

 

You are worrying bout google? Don't you get thousands of visitors just from type-ins?

Amazing domain, one of the best I've seen around here... wanna sell it?
