Webmaster Tools Submission Question.

When I submitted my site to Google Webmaster Tools as http://mysite.com it asks to "add a site" for the www.mysite.com version as well. So now both versions are listed on my dashboard with my "preferred" version set as the www. version. Do I need to submit a crawl for both versions? Right now all my stats are for http and none for the www. Does that make a difference or does it automatically know it's the same site? Further, when backlinking does it matter if the backlink is for http://mysite.com or www.mysite.com since it ultimately goes to the same site? Thanks in advance.

    It does matter. I have my www requests go to my root domain (domain.com). As for backlinks, it doesn't matter as long as you're consistently using just one of them.

    www.domain.com/link is not the same as domain.com/link - your site links will either be known as one or the other. Stick with one, doesn't matter which - but try to stick with one and be consistent... yes, i'm repeating myself... stick with one.
