Does it matter if I backlink to my domain and my subpages using www or not?

EDIT: I use a CDN on www.mysite.com

    Basically, the difference isn't great, but if you have a www website, why don't you include www every time you do link-building?

      Agreed. If your URL is without www then only backlink without www or it will dilute your backlinking somewhat.

        Does google really care? I mean, a visitor with no knowledge of SEO dont even know the difference between a domainname with www or without, so it´s 50/50 he/she will use www in the URL.

        Another thing, my host redirects the www.mysite.com to mysite.com, what´s better in that case?

          some prefer www and some without www,it's your choice.Whatever way you are comfortable with it,just stick with it all the time.

    Promotions of the domain name, with or without www is not a SEO decision. It is a business decision. But in my opinion, promoting domain name without www makes no sense when your domain start with www....

    Ok...what if I use a CDN.

    As of now, they cache my site www.mysite.com but not mysite.com. I would like my visitors to go to www.mysite.com since it waaaaay faster. Does Google give me credit for the link even though I use a CDN?
