While looking at the inbound links to my site and I have noticed that the number of linking root domains to my site is different in the root domain that it is in the w w w sub domain? I hope my terminology is correct. My question is: for best SEO results which one should I focus my backlinks on... the one with or the one without the w w w out in front? Is there a way to make them both share the "SEO links"? Right now I have the w w w site doing a 302 redirect to the non w w w one ...but I am not sure if this is the best...and defiantly don't want to start on the wrong foot. A little help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
newbie here... question about www. vs. root
I have a 302 redirect right now between the two... I will change it to a 301 but just want to double check which one should get the "priority" and going forward when i tell people to backlink to my site what do I tell them to use the www one or the one without the www in front. thanks!
Good question.. If you use WordPress you will notice that the default is a non www.. The best practice for link building is to build links to the redirected one, i.e, if www is being redirected to a non www one -- then build link without using the www.. build links the other way if it is the other way around.

For back linking I use non WWW link. I don't know why but i have never got any kind of problem. But I think all of them are just same. you can use both version to create links.
