I got the following warning when i veify my site with google webmaster tools.

[COLOR=“Red”]

“Your site is indexed as [url]http://domainname.com/[/url] not as [url]http://www.domainname.com/[/url]. If you want to see all data for your site, you need to add and verify [url]http://domainname.com/[/url] as well”

How can i fix this? Your help is much appreciated.

Hello Raj,



Look at your [COLOR=“Red”].htaccess[/COLOR] file.





Lee Li Pop

Thank you very much Lee. What should I need to modify on .htaccess file. Here is my production .htaccess code.





DirectoryIndex index.html index.php





RewriteEngine on

Some hostings require RewriteBase to be uncommented

Example:

Your store url is [url]http://www.yourcompany.com/store/cart[/url]

So “RewriteBase” should be:

RewriteBase /store/cart

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !.(png|gif|ico|swf|jpe?g|js|css)$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . index.php?sef_rewrite=1 [L,QSA]



RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ./catalog/.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f

RewriteRule . index.php?sef_rewrite=1 [L,QSA]

Hello Raj,



First of all, thank you to ask good question! :smiley:



Because…



[COLOR=“Green”]This trick is VERY important for a SEO purpose![/COLOR]



Yes, because, having only one access to your domain URL (with or without “www”), you DO NOT split your PR between “www” and “non www” :wink:



United, we are stronger!

You can chose what you need for your domain name URL, [COLOR=“Red”]Without[/COLOR] (1) or [COLOR=“Green”]With[/COLOR] (2) WWW:



1 - [COLOR=“Red”]WITHOUT[/COLOR] “www”, add at the bottom end of your [COLOR=“#ff0000”].htaccess[/COLOR]:


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.MyDomainName.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://MyDomainName.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]




2 - [COLOR=“Green”]WITH[/COLOR] “www”, add at the bottom end of your [COLOR=“#ff0000”].htaccess[/COLOR]:


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.MyDomainName\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.MyDomainName.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]




Of course, change “MyDomainName.com” with your real own domain name!



*****



For personal reasons, I always chose without “www”.



Nota Bene:



This trick is not always technicaly available. Please, check with your hosting company.
