My site Z5 Films, when I run a search on Google, the results come back as z5films.com/ and not "www.z5films.com" Anyone know why this is? Why is the "www" missing on my pages?
2 reasons: 1. you need to do a 301 redirect . i.e. z5films.com to be redirected to www.z5films.com 2. Use Google sitemap and set the preference for www version.
Sign up for Google Webmaster Tools and set your prefered domain. This over time will fix the problem. You might also want to set your .htaccess files to disable non www
i have the same problem with my site too : .htaccess file has to be rearranged and the problem will be solved the following is the code : Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainname\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domainname.com/$1 [R=301,L] Try to paste it .. and i think the problem will be solved ...
the best option would be as mentioned above to 301 redirect as well as setting it up in google webmaster.
its fine now. When you start a site it takes up to 48 hrs for the site to show the www. Happened to me and I was like :O so i went to bed. Woke up and it was fine
