26 Sep 08 Setup your uniform domain address
This is one of the most important things in SEO (Search Engine Optimization). I have made mistakes in the past, but I will never let you do the same mistake again. It is so easy and yet many people skipped to do the thing that is very easy.
This domain name is called www.infomm.com and in the past, I just submitted in search engines, with either http://www.infomm.com and http://infomm.com. I don’t basically remember what is what. I just index it without thinking too much. Yes. they are all indexed wonderfully, but the problem is, both infomm.com and www.infomm.com are indexed in parallel. The bottom line, your single site is ranked in Google PageRank separately, so it is very hard for you to come up in your pagerank in the long run. So, SEO point of view, you have been making the big mistake as long as you have not set this up.
So, you can set up when you want to analyze for your pagerank in Google (where you can set up in Google webmaster tools), make sure you submit with your preferred domain and setup the Google webmaster tools setup as one. (hence with or without WWW.yourdomain.com). I prefer INFoMM.com for my domain, so, i will use without WWW.
It is also called added 301 redirect, I will quote some from website development training dot com.
This should be done even when your server is set up to display your site either way. This prevents some of the (canonical) issues that happen when someone (including yourself) accidentally links using the opposite of what you use and are indexed as.
This is the code I use. I am sure there are others. This is simply what I use on a Linux (Apache) based server. Make sure to replace the generic domain information with your own.
To Redirect mysite.com to www.mysite.com
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]To Redirect www.mysite.com to mysite.com
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Just replace domain.com with your domain name of course. Good luck, well done and you have successfully complete your first step to reach top in PageRank search engines.
