Scattered backlinks = reduced Page Rank?

    I have backlinks pointing to both mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com. Like this example:

    1 x PR5 => www.mydomain.com
    1 x PR3 => www.mydomain.com
    3 x PR2 => www.mydomain.com


    3 x PR3 => domain.com
    4 x PR2 => domain.com
    1 x PR1 => domain.com

    Is this hurting my collective Page Rank?

    In my .htaccess file, I am redirecting like this:

    # redirect www.audiozone.dk to audiozone.dk
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.audiozone\.dk$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://audiozone.dk/$1 [R=301,L]

    As long as you're redirecting, all of the PR "power" is going to http://yoursite.com; nothing is lost.

    As PalSys said, you're doing it correctly. All your PR juice is going to the non-www.address. :)

    cheers ~

    Probably not - that is why Google did something like Canonicalization Update some time ago which caused so much rumours and many topics about PR and PR and PR... ;)

    IMHO, you better set backlinks to one url and all possible www. and no www paste by redirect.
