prefered domain in webmaster tools

in the google webmaster tools there's an option to select your domain with www and without www so in this case which option should be selected. does it make any difference in indexing and pr

 

It doesn't make any difference, as long as you choose 1 and have all links pointing to it. I always choose the www. version as it's the most common way people write links.

Always do a 301 permanent redirect with .htaccess from http to www to prevent canonical URL's ie splitting backlinks between the two, as Google sees them as 2 different pages.

 

can you tell me how to setup the 301 redirection

 

you must insert this code to your .htaccess file.


RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seo4fun\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.seo4fun.com/$1 [R=301]


nıte: you must edit seo4fun and com according to your domain

 

in the line below is it ^seo4fun\.com or ^seo4fun.com

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seo4fun\.com [NC]

 

Exactly how he has it, just change seo4fun with you domain name... and the .com with your extension if appliable.

 

or just Email ur server host and ask them to do it ^^ heh, thats what i did.

 

good will update the htaccess now
