Just A Helpful Tip With Finding Non WWW Links To Your Site
When it comes to using the www. in front or your domain, It doesn’t really matter which one you decide should be the forefront of your linking campaigns. However it’s a good idea to make sure that you are consistant with it. As a policy I make sure ALL portions of ANY linking campaign I do promotes the www. version of my site.
I’ve seen a few questions about this and I won’t bother answering the whys. Just know its a good idea. If you are fiding it difficult to find all the sites that link to you with the non www. url you can always search on msn using the
linkdomain:BlueHatSEO.com -linkdomain:www.BlueHatSEO.com
search string. This search string also works in Yahoo and will successfully return a list of all the sites that link to the non www. version of your site.
I know this is an old post, but…
Can’t you just add a mod_rewrite 301 that redirects non-www to your www domain? Seems like that would be easier than searching for your mistakes. ?
But won’t the interlinking of pages on your site make this not worth worrying about?
Eli, I noticed you have not implemented a www. mod rewrite on your site. You could do this through you .htaccess file. Its best if you do this, as it makes sure all the page rank and voting goes to the www. version.
