Hi

Does google rank domain name with three Ws and without 3Ws differently? Or are these considered to be the same website considering all the other configuration is correct. I have noticed that I am getting different link ranks when I put my domain with 3Ws on ahrefs compared to domain name without 3Ws. Also noticed that although big G has been kind enough to give me a 3 result Serp however two of my links in it are without 3Ws while the other one is with 3Ws How is this possible!

I dont think it matters, but it annoys the heck out of me to see a site without the www it makes me think its a cloaked site.

Not much of a difference. Make sure all of the URLs in your backlinks have www in the linkback.

then does this look alright? or do you think something is wrong with either config or different results for same domain? I am just a bit worried since I dont want to be spending twice the effort to rank the page than I should. Thanks a lot guys.

You're spreading yourself thin by building links to both www. and non-www domains. Rank wise, it doesn't matter whether your domain has www in it.

The main focus should be to stick to one and build links using only the chosen format.
