SEO Friendly URL - with WWW or without WWW

I am using www redirector plugin for wordpress blog which redirect all url,s to www or without www
For Example
http://www.mydomain.com/
http://mydomain.com/

Plz tell me which url is seo friendly ? with www or without www
Also tell is it necessary to put / at last of urls ?

 

Either one is fine just make sure to use one not both

 

Thanks for reply, So you mean just take one url , either it is with www or without www ?
Also plz explain why to use / at end of url ?

 

Yeah, it is just the same take any url or www, but it depend on your personal preference or how the name sounds better to you. As said before, just choose of these forms to redirect the other.

The slash is added automatically by the browser, makes no diferrence if you add them to the urls or not.

It is your choice. So people like it without the www because it looks shorter, others like it with the www because it looks more professional. It is really up to you. Just don't do both.

 

it is best to use with www to avoid any duplication from your domain.

page samples:
http://www.mydomain.com/opaw_gwapo.html

will be the same indexed with as
http://mydomain.com/opaw_gwapo.html

but different if its
http://opaw.mydomain.com/opaw_gwapo.html

 

I use www prefix. And you need not use a plugin to redirect all the requests, you can do it by .htaccess rule.

 

I prefer with www

with www is good for SEO

 

It's personal preference but if you don't choose to do it, it WILL NOT affect your rankings.

Now mind you that with the 'www.' it's more professional and generally correct, as websites are supposed to only work with the www. protocol (when browsers have requests with just http:// it's usually processed within its request automatically).

www. also looks better in search engine rankings, in my opinion- I always stick with www.

 

Ur choice. ppl like it without the www because it looks shorter, others like it with the www because it looks more professional. It is really up to you. Just don't do both.

Check which one have the best statistics and then stick with that one

 

for me i use non-www domain

 

I always use www because people just used to typing that www

 

Thanks all guys for you reply as most guys suggest to use www to i will stick with it and derickcyril dear will you plz tell me how to use www by .htaccess without using any plugin ? what code should be use in it ?

 

I am also confused about whether using www or without www.

It seems that we should use the url consistently

 

I just realized that I have been using both www and no www. I tried changing the htaccess file but screwed up my site, i changed it back to how it was but i still want to be able to make it no www. the htaccess file already has

in it. What should i change to make www redirect to no www? I also tried the plugin no www but it wont activate for some reason.

thanks,

 

But mainly I seen blogs without www but the sites with www.

Many times I seen that I upload my websites with www but when they got cached, their caching url is without www. Which I think is not good for SEO purpose.
Right???

 

This thread confuses me. So, the www prefix does affect the SEO of a site?

 

I have got my blog without www. But then i changed to www.

In my opinion, this should be decided right when you start a blog, and before building links. Else when you change the prefix, you would loose those backlinks.

When i changed mine to www. i lost traffics alot, and it needs time to reindex my site again.

 

use "www" to avoid the duplicate URLs...
