      Spam links showing up on non-www version only. Why is this? And is it still important to remove these links even though the preferred domain is www?

        Hi Jason,

        Yes, you should remove them. Assuming you have non-www to www redirects in place, those links are still resolving and therefore counting against your site.

        • We are redirecting http and non www versions of our website. Should all versions http (non www version and www version) and https (non www version) should just have 1 redirect to the https www version?
