I want to highlight the point raised by <strong>theBear</strong> at comment ID <strong>#:3094845</strong>. <blockquote> "We are also aware that mysite123.com is indeed <a href="http://www.mysite123.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.mysite123.com</a> and the original question at the top of the thread is asking why can't google understand this? If we can keep things in perspective the question is relating to this known fact." This statement is in fact false. The www subdomain of the mysite123.com domain is the recomended subdomain to serve web pages from. That in no way equates to the www subdomain being the same as the domain.</blockquote> He suggests that domain.com and <a href="http://www.domain.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.domain.com</a> isn't the same which I agree. An example being NST's website. You can access it from <a href="http://www.nst.com.my" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.nst.com.my</a> but not from <a href="http://nst.com.my" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">nst.com.my</a>. I've read some place that the ability to access www.domain.com from domain.com depends on the server's setup or something. Therefore, I am all for using the www prefix (eg. www.tenthofmarch.com) instead of tenthofmarch.com only. A few "big sites" that I go to redirects domain.com to <a href="http://www.domain.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.domain.com</a>, Google being one of them. @Jerry Ong

“We are also aware that mysite123.com is indeed http://www.mysite123.com and the original question at the top of the thread is asking why can’t google understand this? If we can keep things in perspective the question is relating to this known fact.”

This statement is in fact false.

He suggests that domain.com and http://www.domain.com isn’t the same which I agree. An example being NST’s website. You can access it from http://www.nst.com.my but not from nst.com.my.

I’ve read some place that the ability to access http://www.domain.com from domain.com depends on the server’s setup or something. Therefore, I am all for using the www prefix (eg. http://www.tenthofmarch.com) instead of tenthofmarch.com only. A few “big sites” that I go to redirects domain.com to http://www.domain.com, Google being one of them.

I've done some googling for you and found out that wordpress.com does offer to do it for you. But you'll need to pay between USD10 to 15 a year I think. I'm not sure which hosting company you looked for but let me recommend you the hosting company that I am using (serverfreak.com). I just sent Sam a message on your question and he replied me saying it is possible. You can forward the domain name to your wordpress.com blog without getting a hosting package. I'm not sure what effect it has on SEO (I'm not SEO expert). If you don't mind spending a little money, try getting a hosting package with them. You can import all your post from wordpress.com to your new blog if you want to. I'll send you an e-mail with his contact details. You can ask him privately if you need more clarification. @dave

Off topic a little... but seeing you post something related, can't help it lah... so..can lend me a hand a bit.. i've got a big big headache... i'm in the midst of thinking of registering a domain. but i'm slowly realising that this process is going to kill alot more brain cells than i first thought... hehe.. 3 weeks liao.. and i'm still not much wiser... got full time work some more. anyway... my thing is... with the new domain, hopefully i can grow some dedicated organic traffic, and i'm thinking of migrating with wordpress.. the problem is not with wordpress.... problem is with which web host or which company to take... and they got so so many options... take your www or no-www example, i got this web host contact that is saying if i take up hosting with him... he can basically give me a 1.domain name 2.integrate for me my domain with wordpress 3.anyone going to my domain will be automatically routed to wordpress backend. and visitors will actually see my domain instead of wordpress... ie: register: www.dave.com wordpress: dave.wordpress.com idea: go to www.dave.com and post entries on dave.wordpress.com but on www.dave.com you don't see the address as dave.wordpress.com is this possible??? sounds like some kind domain forwarding routing trick...doesen't sound logical to me... and what about the seo results? hope it clarifies.... any ideas my friend?

Off topic a little… but seeing you post something related, can’t help it lah…

so..can lend me a hand a bit.. i’ve got a big big headache… i’m in the midst of thinking of registering a domain. but i’m slowly realising that this process is going to kill alot more brain cells than i first thought… hehe..

3 weeks liao.. and i’m still not much wiser… got full time work some more. anyway… my thing is… with the new domain, hopefully i can grow some dedicated organic traffic, and i’m thinking of migrating with wordpress.. the problem is not with wordpress…. problem is with which web host or which company to take… and they got so so many options…

take your www or no-www example, i got this web host contact that is saying if i take up hosting with him… he can basically give me a 1.domain name 2.integrate for me my domain with wordpress 3.anyone going to my domain will be automatically routed to wordpress backend. and visitors will actually see my domain instead of wordpress… ie:

register: http://www.dave.com

wordpress: dave.wordpress.com

idea: go to http://www.dave.com and post entries on dave.wordpress.com
but on http://www.dave.com you don’t see the address as dave.wordpress.com

is this possible??? sounds like some kind domain forwarding routing trick…doesen’t sound logical to me… and what about the seo results? hope it clarifies….

any ideas my friend?

However, I still prefer to redirect all my urls to the one with www. @BlogDirectory
