For SERPS which is better www or non www

[apwade]

Does it matter if i use to www or no www for SERPS on google? Obviously the redirection would be set up for either in the htaccess file.

Hi Andrew-

We were just discussion this earlier today... hope this thread helps you out!

The general consensus is that google doesn't care either way.  It boils down to either aesthetics, personal preference, or in the case of an existing domain whether one of the root links has already developed better rankings.

As well as the htaccess rewrite, set the 'change of address' in Google webmaster tools to ensure Google passes all link juice to the desired domain.

Thank you for the reply, i thought it would not matter, but its worth checking.
