ok I have a site where if you type the domain without the www. it is redirected with the www. My problem is this below is how many index pages each one has.. with the www. 22,911 without the www. 28,062 Now my problem is will I eventually lose the indexed pages without the www. because all my pages are being redirected? Also I have all my back links to the link with the www. Will this cause problems later on?? Any feed back would be great thanks!
Good question. I have noticed different PR's between http and https, in my case. I would say that you would probably lose the PR to the non www URL's. I'm not sure how Google views these variants of basically the same page. To me it would seem like a flaw. Would Google view the same page, different URL, as "duplicate content" in a way? Hmmm.
im not really sure but i hope not, I am in a similar situation however I have a redirect on my homepage, meaning if you go to k9stud.com it will redirect to www.k9stud.com with some javascript however my inner pages do not have that...
Using javacript to do the redirect is a bad bad bad idea. you should use a .htaccess 301 redirect.. Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc] rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc] REPLACE domain.com and www.newdomain.com with your actual domain name.
You will not lose the redirected pages...they will eventually be dropped from the index and the www version will replace them. You should also register for Google Webmaster Tools and choose www as your preferred domain.
