Changing The Way Google Sees Your Site?

Liquification · 08-19-2009, 04:26 PM

I have a domain that google sees with the www in front of it yet 95% of my links are without the www in front. Therefore I am not getting credit for all of my backlinks at least with the tools i have used. Can someone tell me how to get google to index my site without the www?

Thanks,
Greg

You have a canonical problem.

Put this in your site code anywhere between <head> and </head>:

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.yourdomain.com/" />
It is recognized not only by Google, but Yahoo and Microsoft as well. It's way easier than doing redirects or adding a script to correct the problem.

Learn to use Google's webmaster tools. Everything you need is in there. Not sure this will affect indexing but its a good start.

Its under site configuration > settings.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have actually already done that and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
