I have a domain with PR, but it only shows with its without www. I know this is not like uncommon. Just want to know what does this mean and any advice or anything. Thanks Much Appreciated
It happens sometime as google cache some url and some not... so the url's which are cached are only displayed in the url... this can be for the time being as this happens to many of the websites.. hope it helps
Do a 301 redirect from non-www to www. Otherwise, you may develop duplicate content issues and link splitting.
I c, so if you get backlinks for one and not the other, this is what happens. I have no idea what amanamission is saying btw. Whats 301 redirect from non-www to www and how would you do that?
A 301 is a permanent redirect. Visitors and bots will be sent to www.yoursite.com whenever typing in or linking through to the variant (non-www). There are several ways to do this, but the best is mod_rewrite assuming your server supports it. Just put the code in your .htaccess. In addition to setting my preference in webmaster tools, I also use this mod_rewrite in .htaccess (Apache server): RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]*/)*index\.html? [NC] RewriteRule ^(([^/]*/)*)index\.html?$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite\.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L] This addresses several canonicalization issues, including index.html and non-www versions.
get your site verified in google webmaster tool and select there which one you want there ............. your site will be indexed accordingly and also the PR
