    I search my website visiblenews.com on google & i get through a website named statscrop.com. which syas that your seo is bad because visiblenews.com and www. visiblenews.com are showing the same page. If duplicate content in seach index can hinder your pages' performance in search results. As a result, the ranking of the site may suffer, or the site might be removed entirely from the Seach index, in which case it will no longer appear in search results. please help me..

    The only solution is to rebuild your website also use copyscrape to make sure there is no duplicate content on your website and elsewhere on the web. Then resubmit to google through reconsideration request

    Google says: "If you don’t specify a preferred domain, we may treat the www and non-www versions of the domain as separate references to separate pages.". This poses a problem so you can decide which is preferred by you and then tell Google which of these is the Canonical (preferred) choice.

    How to Convey your Canonical URL to Google and other search engines
    • Put a “rel=canonical” tag in the <head> of your HTML pages;
    • Setting your “Preferred Domain” in Google’s Webmaster Tools;
    • Using your preferred domain in your XML site map;
    • Adding a 301 Redirect in your .htaccess file (on Apache servers).

    It is fairly trivial to set up a 301 redirect from the www to the non-www version (or vice-versa) of your website. Do it and then let Google know via Webmaster Tools. Boom. No need for this thread.
