Hey,

I have a site which I'm working on.. the problem is that I have build backlinks for the website: http://mysite.com ... but in the searchengine google caught http://www.mysite.com !!

I KNOW that www.mysite.com is different than mysite.com .. So how can change this.. should I do this in webmaster tools?

    Yep, go ahead and set a primary version in Webmaster tools. Next, you can set up a 301 redirect for the www-version to redirect into the non-www version.

    If you already have a .htaccess file on the root directory,

    Add:

    (Be sure to substitute “example.com” with your own website information but touch nothing else)

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com
    RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]


    Some SEO veterans are saying this isn't really necessary these days because Google is much better at handling both versions. But it's not something I will stop recommending until I am certain that this is the case.
