        Hi Nicola,

        Is good because google can index both example.com and www.example.com and you end up with duplicate content.

          Thanks Conell

          I instantly recognised that page when I clicked on the link....I obviously read this before and it was lurking in the back of my empty brain somewhere

          Thank You!
