Hi about a week ago started new website with job listings ejobseeker .net/ , ive added few seo links but forget about www . Now google indexed about 10000 pages of my website all without www ,When i noticed that ive set that i prefer www links in google webmaster tools and add .htaccess code

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^mywebsite [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mywebsite/$1 [R=permanent,nc,L]

    See if this helps with your home redirect. I had a similar issue as you in that when making my magento site I didnt set the conical url option so google indexed every combination of the page. I corrected the issue and re submitted my site map google seems to dig it now. I would suggest making the changes and letting google naturally catch up.

      sorry.. the forum thought I was posting a link but it was actually the rewrite code so I had to remove it. I need 2 more posts before I can post it

    Try this code here

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