Report is showing 2 different domains?

[41global]

Hello SEOMOZ Fam,

I am trying to get a understanding on what is the best method for me to do moving forward.  I am just noticing that my reports are showing data for both http://domain & http://www.domain which is what has been confusing me for this whole past month.

I have just went into my control panel and redirected domains to be just http://domain....will me doing this redirect clean up my next crawl report next week or are there other steps I need to do with my domain or even my campaign?   I think I chose root level for my campaign setting.

Thanks so much n advance

The main benefit to having done that redirect, Dezmond, isn't to clean up your SEOMoz report, but to fix the fact that the search engines were seeing those different URLs as totally different sites, and were dividing your site's authority between them (making each one weaker than the total would have been if operating as one)

So good for getting the redirect done! As long as it was created using a 301 Redirect, that should clean up both the search engine issue and the issue in your SEOMoz reports.

The one additional thing you can do as a reinforcement of the process is to go into your Google Webmaster Tools account and use the Settings in the Configuration section to tell Google which is the preferred version of your domain. (You'll need to verify both version of the domain in Webmaster Tools in order to be able to do this).

Hope that helps?

Paul

I made the domain redirect changes last week on the 18th and had my crawl complete on sunday but still seeing both domains in my report?  Does it take time and maybe i need to wait for couple crawls before I see the domains fall off or do i need to start a whole new campaign?  Current campaign is root level domain campaign without the www.

THanks n advance
