Ron CappsI want to talk a little bit about canonicalization, www vs. non-www, redirects, duplicate urls, 302 “hijacking,” etc. so that we’re all on the same page.

Q: So how do I make sure that Google picks the url that I want?
A: One thing
that helps is to pick the url that you want and use that url consistently across
your entire site. -
Q: Is there anything else I can do?
A: Yes. Suppose you want your default url
to be http://www.example.com/ . You can make your webserver so that if someone
requests http://example.com/, it does a 301 (permanent) redirect to
http://www.example.com/ . That helps Google know which url you prefer to be
canonical. Adding a 301 redirect can be an especially good idea if your site
changes often (e.g. dynamic content, a blog, etc.).
