      when i start campain for the first time it says "

      "Roger has detected a problem:

      We have detected that the domain www.xxxxxxtour.com and the domain xxxxxxtour.****.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here."

      How to resolve this and how can i redirect xxxxxxtour..com to www.xxxxxxtour.com ?

      Thank you

        I would redirect to the www version because it is more common. To do this just add the code in your htaccess file.

        This should help:

          The answer depends on how your DNS is set up.  Usually it's simply adding a CNAME to your DNS information.  Who is your domain name registrar?

            If you use Apache, reference the SEOmoz article cited above.

            If you use Nginx, reference this article.

            Another "fix" is to use a canonical tag to suggest to search engines which version to index. SEOmoz will still detect a problem, but you'll be fine from a search engine perspective.
