Links to www version of my site, but we are on http - is this a problem?
-
My website is hosted on e.g. http://eg1 but i have lots of links and new links pointing to http://www.eg1
Is this something to worry about?
Should i contact the sites and ask them to change the links to http?
Or is it nothing to worry about?Thanks for your advice.

Hi James,
In a video from Matt Cutts in 2013, he stated that you will experience a small loss in PageRank, of an equal proportion to the loss experienced by a hyperlink. The consensus seems to be that it will pass between 90-99% of the PageRank.
My suggestion is not to stress about it. If you've implemented a 301 redirect from the "www" version to the "non www" version you should be just fine.
Just my two cents.
