Backlink to http:// or http://www

Ok, my title is a bit mistaken but
when i backlink manually or scrapeboxing should i
use the url like this

url: http://google.com
keywoard: google

or

url: http://www.google.com
keyword: google

Does it matter ?

 

i have started off building links to this:

www.mysite.co.uk/index.asp

then I used a 301 redirect to point everything to

www.mysite.co.uk

so now I point everything to that.

EDIT..the key is consistency, choose one and go with it. really you dont want a site like this:

mysite.co.uk
www.mysite.co.uk
www.mysite.co.uk/index.asp

use a 301 redirect and run with one of them.

 

Thanks to your reply but thats not the same
u are changing sub links or what ever but im with a problem of WITH www or WITHOUT www

 

It does matter because they are different URLs.

Go to your website and highlight and copy the url from the address bar. That is what you should use.

Most of mine are in this format: http://mysite.com/

I always include the backslash at the end because my url has a backslash at the end.

 

Redirect ur site to one URL.

and than make Backlinks to that URL.

Eg : Incase of Google , backlinks should be made to www.google.com

Because EVEN Google.com gets redirected to it.

 

Okay guys so, when i open my website IT DOES NOT HAVE WWW (but when you open it with www, it opens up a website WITHOUT www again)

So by that logic i was backlinking to http://website.com (without www)

So i should redirect something now(never done it ) ?

edit
Just like you said with google
MY website is just like google, but the opposite way

You open http://www.mywebsite.com, and it opens up http://mywebsite.com

 

If you've always backlinked to the correct url it is not a problem.

Just in case, I always use link juice keeper (free wp plugin). It redirects all links to invalid urls to the homepage. I make mistakes and so do my outsourcers so with that plugin I don't have to worry about it.

 

Yeah so you backlink the NON www URL.

i.e :http://mywebsite.com

and even change it to show NON www URL in search engine

By going to Google webmaster TOOLs, if your using it.

 

Idont use that tool, but in google, there is my Webpage Title and below there is a url WITHOUT www.

So thats ok ?

 

Just put your main url and that must be with www like this http://www.mysite.com/ using canonical tag if you want google bot to crawl your with www url and use with www for backlinks rather than without www.

 

You should have just one choice

Pick what you prefer between with or without www and redirect the one you like to the other.

Having both is duplicate content

 

make a .htaccess on root

PHP:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mywebsite.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.mywebsite.com/$1 [r=301,nc]


mywebsite.com will be redirect to www.mywebsite.com
invert if you want the opposite effect

but you HAVE to choose , not doing this will have a negative effect on your serp

 

Wait so you guys are saying that my http://website.com should be redirected to http://www.website.com ? Cause, right now, its the exact opposite.

Ive been doing a pretty big backlinking to http://website.com

So is everything OK, or i need to change redirecting and backlinking..

 

hello and thanks for your htaccess.
in mine there is "l,r" and no "nc" in 2nd line
like

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mywebsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.mywebsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

what is the difference, is mine false?

 

Its ok , just stay like that , but use only one url

 

Im using only one url and its without www, so im OK , but you said something that it will have negative effect on SERPS so i didnt understood you there

 

I really don't know , i'm not a apache pro , if your htaccess does the works then it's ok

 

it does matter.. as both are different urls altogether. Even in siteexplorer you can see different backlink count for these two urls. However it is good to build for both these as well as more number of deep-links, as that looks natural.

 

when you go to www.website.com , the url shown is website.com ?
then it's good in your case

website.com and www.website.com are considered by google as 2 different url , so you have to make www.website.com be redirected to website.com to avoid the duplicate content filter

 

Yes, exactly
