Question about deeplinks and www vs non-www

I have a website that I market exclusively as a "www" site. However, there is a 301 redirect in place from the "non-www", in case anyone tries to find me that way.

Now, I don't fully understand the "deeplinking" issue. But here's my situation.

1) At one time, I hired an "SEO" to do a link-building campaing. Unbeknownst to me, he linked everything as "non-www"

2) I recently began my own link-building, with everything as "www"

When I analyze my backlinks at seologs.com, My results are as follows:

WWW
------------------
Links To Domain: 82
Links To Homepage: 78
Pages Indexed: 17
Deep Link Percentage: 5%


NON-WWW
------------------
Links To Domain: 100
Links To Homepage: 23
Pages Indexed: 17
Deep Link Percentage: 77%

This is very troubling to me. Especially considering that I have built many more links to the WWW site - most of which have not shown up yet.

Can someone please explain this to me, and help put it into perspective? Do I have anything to worry about, or will this resolve on the search engines that really count?

Thank you.

 

it does not really matter, but www is recommended, like mail for email, ns for nameserver, www for the web server, these things were estabilished before the existance of search engines

 

I think that you totally missed the point, but thank you, anyway.

 

To anyone else who might read this:

Please clarify the significance of the "Deep Link Percentage" of the "www" vs. the "non-ww." (as well as the difference in links to homepage) And, for what it's worth, the "non-www" is 301 re-directed to the "www."

Thank you.

 

I didn't miss your point at all, take a look at google and you will notice that google.com is just for lazy people who miss the www., therefore they simpley do a 302 from non-www to www

 

Use mod-rewrite for 301 redirection in few month you will find onely one .www

 

you said you redirected non www to www

give it some time and you should be OK. any popularity gained for non www should transfer over to www. if you are that worried about it and you have plenty of free time, try and contact some of those sites that are linking to the wrong version and ask them to change it for you.

 

I concur with myself previously, you missed the point

The question has nothing to do with what the definition of "www" is, or how to redirect. I've already established for myself that the 301 redirect from "non-www" to "www" is a good idea. Everyone should be doing it, IMO, unless they have a specific reason for not doing it. (it has nothing to do with being lazy - a simple study of time and motion can quellish that statement)

Now, concentrating on the NUMBERS that I posted in the thread starter, you'll see that I took time to go try to figure out what IMPACT that the "www" vs. the "non-www" would have. As you can see, there is a difference in data for the 2 queries.

So, to state in clear, concise, language - my question, is, what is the interpretation of the "www" vs. "non-www" deep linking? Why do the numbers differ?

In summary, and for double clarity:

1) Why do the sets of numbers differ?
2) Please explain the "deep linking %", because I obviously don't understand.

Thank you.

 

301 redirect has been in place since day one. Because I have heard it said so many times, yet see no evidence to the contrary, I absolutely, at this point, do NOT believe that the non-www link will ever resolve to the www in the SE's.

As for chasing down the links - that's just not feasible. I wish it were. (although I've done this for the links that matter the most)

Please keep in mind - this was an error or omission that was instigated by an "SEO." Not money well spent...
