Well, not really. Does it hurt SEO? Well, nah, not really.
But you can lose Page Rank.
To stop this from happening, you need to use a .htaccess rewrite mod.
Create a new one by opening up your text pad and entering the following code:
- Code: Select all
# force www IN URL
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# END force www IN URL
Of course change the example dot come with your domain name.
Place this file into your domain's root directory, ie "public_html" or "www" folder.
