Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey, Our crawler actually requests the page http://mysite.com first but then finds all your links to www.mysite.com You will want to contact the person responsible for hosting or developing your site in order to make these changes. Have a great day! Kenny

Hi FinalFrontier, I agree with setting up a 301 redirect to a single version. I also recommend doing the following: Set up canonical URLs to your desired version Ensure that your XML sitemaps use your desired version Add both www and non-www to Google Webmaster Tools and select one as the URL you'd like displayed in search results Best of luck!

I'm not sure if it would de-index your site BUT it will definately not help. You need a balanced link profile from good authority sites with both followed and no follow links (obviously more followed). If you just have a link profile with just followed links and they are all from directory sites (which tend to have low authority - not all but most) you will risk google penalising you. I would recommend creating a balance strategy to link buidling. Posting in Blogs with a high readership and good reputation, joining a popular and well used forum and actively get involved, a hand full of directories with non spammy links, social sites, news or information sites (email them and ask for a link).... These are just a few ideas... Also you want to make sure your links are balanced and use a variety of different anchor text and not overly optimised keyword text. Google's algorithm is updated 100's of times a year so you never know when they will start penalising a certain type of link or text or tags etc... EDIT: Found something that shows a great idea for a strategy and I strongly success you read it! http://pointblankseo.com/link-building-strategies
