This is a pretty simplified explanation, but Google has had canonical url and duplicate content issues for some time. One of these is that if your domain resolves to both the www and non-www versions it may be seen as duplicate content (therefore penalized) even though it's the same site.
One solution is to use mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file to permanently (301) redirect the non-www version to the www version. Here is an on a unix/apache server:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]Offline
So I can try this out.
We use a subdomain admin.oursite.com
To avoid wwwadmin.oursite.com complicating thisngs and appearing in logs etc
how would I modify this .htacess file?
Would this need to go into the root of each folder to avoid a user typing in wwwadmin.oursite.com/subfolder of is this recurrsive and protects folders below?
