I had doubts regarding www or non-www for our website. It got pretty clear now.

It seems to me that the shortest version is better. Without www, the address is more readable and easier to remember. Few of these large websites use the www prefix, so it may be worth not using them.

The conclusion is that it depends on what kind of site you have 🙂

Hello Mike. If you do the 301 redirects correctly and are 100% sure you don’t mess up, they should not drop. At least that’s what Google says. If they drop, it’s probably going to be insignificant and will recover very soon. However, if you mess up the 301 redirects, yes. They can drop. If you do move from non www to www, make sure you also move now to HTTPS if you don’t have SSL. Better to do one move than two so do them both at the same time.

Rohit, it seems like you haven’t read the article. I would appreciate it if you do. They’re not the same in SEO.

Well if you just added it because other sites have it it was a fairly risky move. Take advantage of it and set a cookieless subdomain for hosting images 🙂 Good luck!

Hi! If my website is nearly 2years old and uses the non www. If i redirect with 301 to the www version, will my rankings drop?

I prefer www is best option, if your domain name is small under 8. Non-www is best for long domain names. And both are same in SEO.

Just added www. To my domain after a few years. It’s getting a lot more traffic so decided to do it if I get a CDN and because large sites like Verge and Macstories have.

No wondering if it was a good idea as I’m worried I’ll take a hit on seo. I have 301 setup to redirect and told google about the change.

Let’s wait and see I guess :/
