Need Help Sorting out Redirect Mess!

I have a website that is in quite a mess. All the following links, though pointing to the same thing have different PR and computed backlinks.

http://mydomain.com
http://www.mydomain.com
http://mydomain.com/index.php

I think i need to redirect all of them to one place properly, preferably http://www.mydomain.com. Can someone advice on how I should modify the .htaccess file? Or is there a better alternative?

Tks!

 

I think .htaccess is the best way

 

tks but how do i do it?

 

Without having access to your site / .htaccess file I can't really say, it should take about 2 or 3 .htaccess Rewrite rules to get the job done though

 

Try to add these lines to .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*\/index\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This comes from a couple websites I just found, so it's not tested by me. Just change mydomain to your domain name.
