www & @ Sitemaps - Hurt or Help

    Does it hurt or help if you have a sitemap for www and @. Google indexes domains both ways and I was wondering if it would help to have 2 sitemaps, one for each record.

    www - www.example.com
    @ - example.com

    Since Google sees these as two different domains and each of them would contain identical content, I'd suggest picking one version or the other and sticking with it.

    I have always found that concentrating your link value on one version (one well-ranked site) is better than having two half-fast sites going (two that aren't ranking real well).
