Which URL for Google?

Using Google webmaster tools, I look at both versions of my site: liveFerrari.com and liveferrari.com. I had always had google index the url without www. however the version with www. has more listed links. How does this affect VBSEO and should I change my setting to now prefer the liveFerrari.com version? Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can use either one there is not documentation of one over the other but it is recommend you choose one.

You should also follow [How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects for which ever one you choose.

I suggest, as Ceri mentions, to chose one

• setting vbOptions to 1 choice
• setting the htaccess to 1 choice
• setting the google.com/webmasters area preferred domain to 1 choice

As long as all 3 are the same, you are ok.

I personally prefer non-www, as it is simply more typing and un-necessary, but using www's is not wrong.
