Non-www home page indexed, but www for rest of site

[JaspalX]

Hi there, grateful for any ideas on why this is happening:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:www.vitispr.com

vs

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:vitispr.com

Google seems to be indexing and caching vitispr.com for our home page but the www. versions for everything else. As you can see the second query finds the home page.

Any ideas why that might be?

Other info that might be relevant:

• non-www etc. are all 301'd to www versions.
• moved domains/urls etc. around in March of this year and for a week or we were redirecting to the non-www version
• webmaster tools says 'www' preferred

Thanks!

Only thing I can figure is it's a lag in their update due to the switch in March.  You're doing everything you need to / can / should for this type of situation, and I see you even have the rel=canonical set.

I was hoping that might be the case - needed someone with more experience to cast their eyes over it. Thanks!

Glad to help.  Curious to learn how it unfolds over time too though.

will let you know. I'm a bit annoyed since our sitelinks seemed to disappear somewhere along the lines while these shenanigans were going on. hopefully they'll come back when it settles down

Hi Alan, posting this question clearly had an effect; within a week the google fairies had sorted themselves out and now only the www version is showing in SERPS.

Glad to hear it resolved. Sometimes patience is the only action required.
