      Open Site Explorer has a link profile for my web page twice.

      pensacolarealestate.com

      and

      www.pensacolarealestate.com/

      I don't know if I am getting the link juice from the weaker of the two (pensacolarealestate.com). If I am not, I desperately need it. I am ranked 3rd on my SERP which I have always ranked 1st. I need to go back to one asap. Please help me guys 🙂       I need as much of an explanation to accomplish my goal as you can muster!

      Get this solved and I will be a subscriber after my free period (lol).

        OK, you are now going to be a subscriber, welcome aboard!

        The issue is you do not have a preferred domain set in GWMT. Google sees the sub domain (www) and the domain pensacolarealestate.com as two separate sites. An easy fix.

        So, go into Google Webmaster Tools to the dashboard, Click on configuration and you will see settings. Click on settings and you will see Preferred Domain as the middle choice. You need to select which you want as the preferred. So, if your www has the most link juice coming to it, make it preferred or if vice versa, make the other preferred.

        As soon as your site is reindexed, it will begin to show as a single site. I would bet that within two months that most of the link juice will be transferred to the chosen domain.

        Welcome!

        All the best,
