      Which do you recommend, or does it even matter? www.yoursite.com or yoursite.com ??

        It makes no difference if you go with the WWW or the non-WWW version but once you pick one, stick with it. On a personal level, I like to stick with the www since I noticed people that are not to "internet savvy" tend to think everything is always www.

        Example: A person might see an ad for your website that has example.com instead of www.example.com. If I didn't know better, it would look like it's a simple spelling error and they forgot to add the www. in front of it.

        Just the way I see through the eyes of people who are not educated with the web

          For SEO/marketing purposes I would recommend using  www. subdomain because people are accustomed to seeing it.

          here is a great answer:http://www.seomoz.org/q/www-or-no-www-in-search-results

            www, simply because it gets the link love by default.
