: Showing non www on Google but redirecting it to www In Google Webmaster Central, I have decided that my search results will be shown as non-www but I also decided that my site redirects to

@Kaufman445

no. there is no problem SEO-wise. in the WMT you can set which url will be displayed (in your case: the non-www url).

just make sure to handle redirects the appropriate way. via .htacces you would need to set up the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoururl.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.yoururl.com/ [L,R=301]


this will redirect all incoming traffic from "yoururl.com" to "www.yoururl.com".

@Angela700

foo.bar and foo.bar would show as separate sites if not done properly. are you handling the redirect through a DNS cname or a 301 redirect?
