updating a listing to http://www.....

Marcovo · Sep 6, 2004

Hi,
I originally submitted my site as https://example.co.uk and it was accepted.
My google listing has now changed to https://example.co.uk too.

Should I have used https://www.example.co.uk so as to be consistant accross the web and, if so, is it OK to submit an edit listing request?

There's not a lot of point asking for a change.

If what's submitted works and the site is acceptable, we list it.
We don't care about SEO matters and only subsequently change the URL if the old one stops working.

OK Thanks.

You can use this code in an .htaccess file in your main directory. It will rewrite any requests to include the www if it is without it.

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Changing example.com in all cases to your domain name.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Mark

Thanks, but unfortunately I host on Windows 2003/IIS6 and so, don't have the option of using an .htaccess file.
