      My business is located at remotebaba.com, and I am wanting several sites to link to it.
      I am only interested in home page at this point, and we are using HTTPS for our site.

      Which one of these should I have other sites link to (Please provide complete justification):
      remotebaba.com (my root domain)
      www.remotebaba.com
      https://remotebaba.com
      https://www.remotebaba.com

      I really appreciate your help!

          Hi udaipabla,

          You should always point your links to the final version you show users. In this case, you have all 3 redirected to https://www.remotebaba.com, then that should be the URL.

          The thinking here is to be coherent on what you tell Users, other webs and Google. Don't waste Google's time making it go through redirections whenever you can avoid it.

          Hope it helps.
          Best luck.
          Gaston
