Missing www. in front of URL in Google Search Results. Help!
Question
If you search for my site on google (here) it’s the fourth one down.
However, the url on the bottom of it doesn’t have a www. in front of it.
Why is this and how can I fix it?
Answer
Have you set up a redirect to the non www. version via htaccess or a redirect on your server?
Sign up for a Google Webmaster account & there’s a setting within the control panel where you can specify which version Google should use.
As an aside, always set up a redirect (301, permanent) from one to the other … this prevents canonical (and potential duplicate content) issues in the search engines.
