      Hi there

      Our website www.snowbusiness.com has a non www version and this one has 398 backlinks.

      What is the best way of transfering this link value if i establish the www. address as the canonical URL?

      Thanks,

      Ben

        Hi Ben,

        You should be using a 301, permanent redirection to redirect the non-preferred version of your website to the preferred version. This is the best way you can pass on most of the link juice to the preferred version of your website.

        Best,

        Devanur Rafi
