Initially I launched my site without "WWW" and my "sitemap.xml" also submitted without "WWW". After one month I changed my site all pages to with "WWW" also changed sitemap. Added htacess for redirect non "WWW" to "WWW".


Now my problem is my all page indexed without "WWW". Now my pages are indexing with "WWW". Does it make any issue like content duplication? or SPAM?


How do i nonindex my all non www pages? Is it cause my SEO?
 
I did the same thing.

All I did to rectify this was logged into webmaster tools and set my preferred domain to 'www.' And then changed the htaccess to redirect everything to www.

After a couple of weeks everything naturally changed over to my www. versions and all was good.
 
a better solution is a proper 301 redirect from naked domain to www domain. Do not use canonical tag, technically search engine may not to honor canonical tag.

if you have put the proper redirect from non www to www already, you would start seeing www in google index shortly. It may take upto 3-4 weeks but you need not to do anything apart from it.
