Open Site Explorer produces better results for www.50campfires.com than 50campfires.com
-
Our website url is 50campfires.com and www.50campfires.com redirects to 50campfires.com
Look at the Open Site Explorer results for the two and www.50campfires.com has better results.
Does google have an issue with this or may it be confusing them? We have redirects in place.
How would I go about fixing this? More on what strategies would improve Page Authority and Page Rank.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
I just checked and the 301 redirects appear to be implemented properly. I would not worry about the difference in PA/DA between the www. and non-www. version - this is simply a metric tied to the number and quality of links going into the www. version vs. the non-www. version.
With time, the non-www. version will accumulate more links and more authoritative links that will ultimately power the rankings. As you build and naturally produce more links to the non-www. version this version of the page will become more and more authoritative. It should quickly become more authoritative in all metrics than the www. version.
Even in the short-term, I would not stress over the very small amount of link equity that is lost in the one 301 redirect between the www. version and the non-www. version. This is a VERY minor/small SEO impact (if one at all).
