Do you type WWW in front of your domain name? January 13, 2006
John Vanhara
When accessing different websites do you type just domain name (iloverealestate.biz) or do you type www in front of the domain name (www.iloverealestate.biz). Everybody is different and people are using both options. But the important issue is how your own website works.
When you type just domain name will your website show in the address bar: www.iloverealestate.biz (automatically add www)? It is very important to use just version and set up your web server so whatever option users type it will show just one option.
The set up is done through function called mod_rewrite and what you have to do is to place small piece of code to your .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^iloverealestate\.biz [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.iloverealestate.biz/$1 [R=301,L]
Why is it so important? Because otherwise search engines like Google might think that there are multiple versions of your website. We can help you fix small things like that for less than $25 fee. It takes few minutes, but can make long term and substantial effect on your search engine rankings.
