301 redirect

What is it, and how do I do it?

301 Redirect - How to create Redirects

what do you want to do with them?

I had my site critiqued and someone said I should do this

Critique my site please

ok, on the link I posted it would be this section

Redirect to www (htaccess redirect)

Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all requests coming in to domain.com will get redirected to www.domain.com
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Please REPLACE domain.com and www.newdomain.com with your actual domain name.

Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.

I have done it through Google Webmaster tools.....but I have a question...

Should I have 2 Google Web accounts? One using www and one without it?

The webmaster tools is just a preference that only effects google. you should still do it in your htaccess as directed in that link. Only 1 webmaster area is needed.
