Losing the WWW?

[greenhornet77]

My website is wildbirdfeeders.com however so far everywhere I link to it, I use www.wildbirdfeeders.com.

There is a 301 set up to always redirect you so you always land at wildbirdfeeders.com

Question. Is this okay to have this set up this way? Am I hurting myself?

Also should I do link building using the url wildbirdfeeders.com or www.wildbirdfeeders.com?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Hurting? NO!

Not Helping?  This is not the case either.

Actually you are missing the opportunity to be smarter on links... If you are getting quality links with www then you should use the same URL as upon redirection (301) some of the link juice will be left.

As you said you made most of the links with-www then you should try redirecting all versions of URL to www-version so that you can earn the most out of it...

Spoke with our web designer. Whoops, apparently it might have been a plugin that forced the site to lose the www.

We have gone back to the www. Thanks for your responses.
