      hello,

      I recently changed from www to non www. I have redirected my whole website so if I type www. it goes to the non-www page.

      doing a open site explorer I noticed my www. still has the page authority 14/100 with 6 links. where as the non-www page has 1/100 page authority and no links.

      how do I get the www. to mirror the non-www links?
      eg if you goto http://www.finnmoto.com.au/mens-motorcycle-kevlar-hoodie/ it will goto the non-www version automatically, so why does the non-www replicate the page authority / total links

      attached picture for reference.
      Google webmaster has been selected for non-www, its been about 2 weeks.
      my domain authority i think about about 21 or more now its 19 aswell.

      I have a feeling: 
      nofollow or rel=canonical  has something to do with it but Ill need read into what that does and how to apply.

      any ideas?

        My understanding is OSE relay on a db which is updated on a monthly basis. Last update was October 29, if you moved after October 29 I guess you will have to wait till November 25 to see any change in OSE.

          its now 5th of december. the open site explorer reads updated october 30, 2014

          the new pages without the www. is still showing 1/100 page authority, no total links etc.. the facebook likes/shares match up

          http://www.finnmoto.com.au/mens-motorcycle-kevlar-hoodie/
          PAGE AUTHORITY  14 /100 ESTABLISHED LINKS 1 Root Domains 6 Total Link FACEBOOK 235 Shares 29 Likes

          I lost some domain authority aswell when i made the switch. any idea when the new specs will be updated.
