    just make sure that www is at least setup and point to the index page, many people still type in www, and you don't want to loose returning visitors.

    Yeah it does not make a difference. But link building with www and without can make a difference each may get counted separately

    Just use this in your .htaccess:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{http_host} ^domain.com [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

    Problem solved :)

    There is no difference with www and without www. But search engine consider those pages as a different page. You can avoid this problem with the help of google webmaster tool and changes on server.

    if you not redirect you like this then there will be difference in google ranking because it will treat as there are two urls
    this is the basic difference...
    i think you will understand what i want to say...

    I think it will depend on redirect concept which will treat as there are two urls
