Jerry West writes in his current post: Fixing Internal Duplicate Content with a Non-www Site Redirect about a well known subject, which I want to emphasise due to the fact that many webmasters are still neglecting this important detail; it leads to the Duplicate Content penalty by Google and reduces pagerank which worsens search engine listings for your pages. As a consequence the site gets less search engine traffic – a bad mistake for every webmaster, not only those using their site to make money.
Worse still because the Duplicate Content Fix can be done simply by editing .htaccess in the root directory of the website. Even easier done by using the latest version of WordPress: set your WorPress-Address and Blog-Address correctly using “http://www.”, and the rest is done automatically by WordPress – no gurudo necessary.
