    Ive been building links to http://mysite.com , for some reason the default on my site is http://www.mysite.com . Are the links that im building for the url with NO www. count for the one with the www.

    On yahoo link explorer the www. shows 3 links, but the http:// shows 3,000+ links.

    Have I done a no brainer mistake?

    Hi,

    I think you would need a 301 redirection setting in your .htaccess file from domain without www to the form of domain with www. :)

    all the best,
