Hello friends, do you use http://www.domainname.com com or straight domainname.com? Recently I want to buy a domain name. If I search for PA and DA it shows me 17 without www. If I include http://www.domainname.com it shows me 27 DA and PA. I am checking on MOZ. having lots of links. What should I do? Should I include www. Or not or it will hurt my onsite SEO or ranking? Thanks

The varying metrics are due to each URL being unique, there are more links built to one version of the URL than the other, if you get the domain be sure you set up a redirect.
 
Technically, I don't think there's a better version. It's purely a choice. The example is just an example. It could be the totally opposite for another site.

P.S. Browsers these days omit the www part anyway, so having the www is unnecessary IMO.

P.S. 2: If you are buying something that already has higher stats for www/non-www, just roll with the high stat version, me thinks.
 
"www - a relic of the past, does not give any benefit, do not bother with it
 
Thank you so much for helping me. I gonna redirect www. to default site.
 
All major websites still use www, look at google, amazon, ebay,
The browser now hides that part, so it's only left to be a key in the arsenal of different links in your backlink portfolio.
Sometimes using it, sometimes not, but I say you redirect everything to www, keep the brand alive! :D

Have you checked the history, see how many times it's been dropped, changed hands etc?

Not dropped out so far. I saw on archive it was looking like vintage website and had lots of content. I think owner went so old and left the domain recently. He was publishing content till Jan 2021.
 
On the one hand it's twitter.com

On the other it's www.google.com

So, either way it works.

I'd say if people have to type it, go without www. If people access it from inside a field or app, it'll work either way.

www. redirect to default gonna help me to get advantage of the links and DA and PA. What you think?
 
Follow big G. big G uses www in all their domain.

Use only 1 version of the domain and redirect other.

It seems outdated bro.
 
Check linking profile to see where most links are being send
Also check archive.org to see how it was made originally.
Use www or non-www accordingly.

Might make it easier to get links, in which case it would.

However you choose to do it, you still need to redirect to the chosen one, regardless.
