    Dear DP members,

    Since 3 / 4 days my website (http://tiny.cc/tpss5) index page is indexed in Google with http:// instead of www. I Have both versions (http:// and www) in Google Webmasters Tools and they are also both on "show as www".

    What could be the problem?

    use .htaccess and google webmaster tools to notify google you are using www vs non-www

    I read what you said except you didn't mention that you did a change of address? If you have both then you should notify google that the non-www is now the www version?

    The non-www (site) is already on www only so its should show only www urls instead of http://. The weird thing is, its only on my main page.

    - Screenshot of Google Webmaster Tools settings: link
    - Google results: link

    And as you can see it only effects the main page.

    If your website has been indexed the similar two versions, both www and non-www, then it would have problem from duplicated contents in a long run. The best bet is to choose only one version and do 301 redirect another version to the one you chose. Here is a good guide can helps you doing this.

    Hello Sxperm,

    Example:
    Mine:
    I am not sure this is the problem because he is still auto changing. Maybe its different for Search Engines.

    I see no problem in this as long as users can still access your site

    It effects my monitoring tools. I don't get any info anymore because he only checks www. and i can't change it. And maybe it also effects my ranking (almost sure of that) because my incoming links are http://www. and no http://.

    Your problem is the page is a duplicate of the other page.

    Make your page unique in all aspects and google wont consider them to be one and the same.

    It can't be duplicated content because the page is 50% random each time you load it. (25 random links and 9 random links included image)
