Google Webmaster Creation

[daracreative]

When creating Google Webmaster Account is it advised to create 2 accounts for the 1 domain. one for non www and one for www?

[seoroyal]

Do you have two different domains?

[daracreative]

no it's for the one domain www.example.ie and example.ie (they are the exact same site and direct to the www)

I'm lead to believe I should submit the same site twice (www and non www)

Is this correct.

You need to submit your site with and without www to the same account, and thereafter select which version you'll use.

Also, make sure you are consistent so also do a similar .htaccess 301 redirect to either www or non-www.

Best,

Thomas

No way. Create one account and add www and non www to it. Don't create two accounts for each canonical version of your domain.

That's what I meant, Dejan. Submit the same site twice to the same account. Thanks for putting it more concise than me
