Use root version when checking backlinks. "domain.tld". And choose it based on referring domains.

@prateek31, try everything...

domain . com
www . domain . com
http:// domain . com
http:// www . domain . com

That is what I do when I am still using Majestics.

In a way though, what the heck you still doing with Majestics? TF/CF are nothing for me, personally, especially when I am looking for a potential site for guest post.

What I do is I pop in their urls in Ahref (way, way more accurate than Majestics), check their anchor texts use, how many RDs and what's the traffic. Then I dig deeper to their RDs. You will know if it's a good candidate base on the RDs they have. I'm even blind with the backlinks count.

Doesn't matter at all, the google/search engine system still treat the same.

with www

When you add www. in front of a site, it acts as a hostname have ability to restrict cookies when using multiple subdomains. When you use non-WWW domains also referred as naked domains do not have a technical advantage.They are both equally as good with SEO.

Answer 1: If you expired domain you can check the archive of the domain and you can choose www or not. The domain already used www means you can choose it or leave that.

Answer 2: Check the metrics for root domain so check it like this domain.com and choose the root domain dropdown.

For general usage, I like the domain without the www, as that is simply a hassle when typing in the domain onto the browser.
Otherwise, there is a difference between www and non-www for expired domains. You will need to examine the link profile back to your site, and see where the authority lies - either with or without www.
If the authority domain is with www, then you should build links and also refer to the domain with www, otherwise, using without the www is akin like using a new domain in the process.

so i should do http://domain.com and http://www.domain.com search in majestic?
