Canonical Errors

I am confused about whether my website should be www.name.com or name.com

What is the difference and why does both create a canonical error for the search engines?

I am trying to decide whether to create both sites in my Google analytics.

Can anyone help me understand this issue from an SEO viewpoint please?

  • It can be whichever you choose, but you should only use one variant and redirect the other one. Do you have the canonical tag set on your page, and does it match the page URL?

    I'm not sure why you'd have two sites with separate Analytics accounts. While I've seen this done for complex technical reasons, I'd suggest that you avoid it.

    Type your domain URL in your browser, hit enter, whatever you see (www vs non-www) is how you need to structure your URLs on everything you do from building internal/external links to adding canonical tag URLs to the source code of your pages.

    Do a site:domain.com search on Google, what does Google show in the SERPs (www or non-www)?
