: Canonicalization of my site I'm confused about canonical issue. I've setup in .htaccess to redirect the urls without www to www. one's. My site is http://www.indiacustomercare.com . Now the url's

@Candy875

If you'd properly set redirect 301 from htaccess robots will know your preferred url starts with www and they will index it using www because redirect 301 indicates no-www is removed permanently.
Additionaly You can tell Googlebot www is your preferred url, login into Google Webmaster Tools go to Site configuration -> settings and select Display URLs as yourdomain.com
If you are going to use absolute URLs in your internal links it will be better to be consistent with your preferred domain. If you don't want to bother about inserting www.yourdomain.com/ in your links' href then don't include protocol and domain there, just set your links as href="/folder/page.ext". In this way the links will be appended to your domain and bots will see them as www.yourdomain.com/folder/page.ext
