Link Building and SERPs Ranking URL

**usaonlinecasino** · 30 December 2011, 12:07 pm

It may be not a new issue, but it is still not clear to me:

Why the search engine presents your URL as https://(asite).com rather than https://www.(asite).com even almost all links to your URL https://www.(asite).com?

What can you do to change it to the way you want?

You can choose whether Google presents your site as www or non www in Webmaster Tools.

You can also set up canonical redirects so that anyone typing www will be redirected to the non www address, or vice versa.

It's worth doing to prevent link authority being split between them.

Thanks Bonusbetting.

Didn't know you can do that in G's Webmaster Tools. I will have a look.

The 2nd method looks like working with Google, but may not work for Yahoo and Bing.

Anyone knows if search engines know what I want by using the 301 redirection (I know that can help load the page you want)?

Using a 301 is ideal as you'll also get credit for the links pointing to the non-preferred version. Currently you have (at least) two versions of your site: https://www.example.com and https://example.com

You can either use a rewrite rule using htaccess or if you are using a cms such as wordpress or joomla you can probably get a plug-in to do it for you. For joomla I'd recommend sh404sef.

baldidiot, thanks for your valuable suggestion. Cheers.

we are doing www.casinorecommender.com >>> casinorecommender.com redirection via ".htaccess" file which is the most healthy method. If you Google it you can find it easily.

You will have to edit your .htaccess file.

Use the following code if you want to redirect the non-www version to the www version. Eg. gpwa.org to www.dietistaktuellt.com. ( replace gpwa.org to your domain name

)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.gpwa\.org$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.dietistaktuellt.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Hope it helps, have a read Matt Cutts post on this canonical URL issue.

That is exactly what we also do ! Thanks for your contribution

CasinoRecommender and Jay, thank you all for your helpful contribution on the issue.

editing the .htaccess file is the one of the easiest routes to take inorder to rectify the above mentioned. You can download the file using an ftp programm like filezilla

You should redirect all your non WWW URls to WWW not only home page
