Hi Group,

I've just run a woorank report on a website that I'm working on it's flagged an issue on the domain name..

I can get to the webpage without putting the www in the search.

Is it right that Google see's this as two seperate pages and as such can effect the rank?

How do I rectify this issue?

Cheers

Carl

setup a 301 redirect using htaccess file, or use google's rel=canonical

Hi Carlos- did you get this sorted?

Yes Google it's true, Google can get confused and index the wrong version.. best solution is a 301 redirect within htaccess as Krystian points out...

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