      My site WhiteGloveInternational.com has taken a sharp fall in the rankings. I have specified the Canonical as www inside webmasters tools.  I am using wordpress & a plugin called  "Simple 301" in order to specify the canonical I used the rel meta tag and changed the site location to www inside wordpress general settings, however I have not updated with the  "Simple 301" plugin. Should I? Should I 301 redirect all non www pages to their www counter part or should I wait for the SERPS to do their thing?

        Hi,

        After looking at your site, the redirect of non www ---> www is already implemented?

        Did you just make this change recently, cause all URLS in Google still show non www

        Just In my opinion this could be the reason for the rank drop, as Google is "Confused" but it should get it right soon (few weeks or so)

        Why did you change from non www to www?    are most of you incoming links coming to www version?

          Yes most of the incoming relevant links are going to www version. I think you are right just wanted a second opinion. Yes we made the changes last weekend.
