Page Analysis Difference Between Root and Subdomain

[waynekolenchuk]

I have a site where the canonical version is the subdomain www, with a permanent redirect to ensure this is so.

When I do a page analysis from the MozBar for the domain I see that www and *.domain are both displayed, with numbers from *.domain being shown by default in the mozbar.

Does MozBar show *.domain numbers by default, and do I correctly understand that the (higher) www numbers displayed in page analysis for www are valid and a result of my canonical strategy?

Root domain is shown by default.

The effectiveness of your canonical strategy would be better figured out by testing through the search engines, as they implement such 'suggestions' a variety of ways.  Here's an article that might help explain why this question is hard to answer:

I do think you're on the right track regarding the canonical strategy.  Now I recommend to do some research as to how Google is responding to this strategy.  When you search for your target terms, which version is showing in the results- www or root?
