What format should a URL be in backlinks?

Quick question: I have a site which does NOT have the "www." in the beginning of the url. In an internet browser, it shows as:

http://domain.com/

In google's search listings, it shows as:

domain.com/

I know that the format of a URL in the backlinks are important, so when I'm ordering backlinks in the warrior services section here, how should I ask the service provider to format the URL?

http://domain.com/

domain.com/

domain.com

etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks Warriors~!

    http://domain.com/

    when using anchor text: <a href=”http://domain.com”>keyword</a>

    If your site is without "www." just keep all your back links without too.

    The slash does not matter, the link will work with or without it.

    When you are outsourcing back links, give the person the following details:

    URL: http://domain.com
    Anchor text: Keyword

      Thanks for the info Barry. This is exactly what I have been doing for my outsourced backlinking, but I ask because I didn't see any movement in the SERPs, so I figured I might have made a mistake in my submission format; apparently not so much...

      Hmm...Back to the drawing boards.

        The links you are using are probably worthless... :confused:
