      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.

        • For a new site, does it matter which sites I get back links from first? I.e., are the first back links more important than later ones?
