great- i just discovered, after trying and trying to get more pages crawled and indexed by google- that my www version of the site has 8 pages indexed and hundreds of backlinks, but my non www version has hundreds of indexed pages and NO BACKLINKS. is this affecting my serp position?


what does google see? if i started getting backlinks for non www version, would it push up?

should i set a preferred domain in webmaster tools?

really really would appreciate some help

thanks,
Kelly

    Yes set your preferred domain and optimize only one version. After that google will only show preferred version.

      I would add a 301 redirect in the htaccess file as well.
