      My non-www version account is my preferred domain. Should I submit in both account? Or one account will take care of the disavow?

        We've done this on all disavows lately - submitted to both. We haven't seen any negative effect but we've seen cases where it SEEMS like there was a positive effect.  It's very hard to say because obviously disavows aren't instant and you aren't always 100% sure what you can attribute to which part of the process.

        In my experience I would submit it to both.

          I would definitely add it to both as Google sees these as two different sites.

          • Something happened within the last 2 weeks on our WordPress-hosted site that created "duplicates" by counting www.company.com/example and company.com/example (without the 'www.') as separate pages. Any idea what could have happened, and how to fix it?
