Problem www/non-www domain rewrite

hgw57

Hello,

I've made a site for a client about 1 year ago. The rankings are quite okay, but the home page suffers from a penalty I think.

I found out via OSE that PageAuthority strangely is higher on the 301-ed page

I don't understand what is happening here as I am using the usual htaccess 301-redirect:

Rewrite domain.com -> www.domain.com

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.myanmar-rundreisen.de [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.myanmar-rundreisen.de/$1 [L,R=301]

which is working fine with other domains ...

I tried also (last line)

So thanks to anyone who can share an idea on that ...

only so?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1
[R=301,L]

Ciao

Hi Maurizio

thanks for this code version - I changed the htaccess rewrite to your version.

htaccess does what is expected ...

No change yet in opensiteexplorer results with that htaccess, but may be after some hours ...

I think that's is impossible that you see change in opensiteexplorer early.

First you must logged in webmaster tools of google e decide if you use your domain with

www or without.

After you must wait the the search engine understand that this is changed.

Yes. Google Webmaster Tools know about www since long ...
