www. & non-www. (fixing robots.text)

Discussion in 'robots.txt' started by theultimatepublishing, Jul 30, 2007.

    When I entered my main url (with www.), it gets redirected to a url (without www.). What happened to my www.?

    On some of my blog posts, such as this.

    When I clicked on my affiliate link, (which I used adtrackz to cloak), the www. also disappears!

    What happened? Is there a problem with my robots.text or .htaccess?

    Did I place my robots text in the wrong folder? I put in in the main folder & the /blog folder.

    Did I mess up the file permissions of my robots text or .htaccess?

    I would like redirect all the non-www. to www., how do I do that?

    Please help, thank you so much.

    This is a .htaccess issue.

    To achieve what you want to do, place the following in your .htaccess.

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

    Thanks.

    Do I place this .htaccess file in the main folder or the /blog folder or both?

    Are you using wordpress? If yes, get the Permalink Redirect plugin, will fix all the problems.

    it's better to make a 301 redirect with the code which is given above.

    dont waste your time with robots.txt
