    Quick question:

    If I have a site and it shows up on http://domain.com and http://www.domain.com will google see them as duplicate content and punish me for that – Someone mentioned in passing that would happen?

    yes Alex,

    there certainly is a change Google will see this as 2 different sites with the same content
    put this in a .htaccess file:



    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]


    maybe change the com also

    cheers

    I do what elgoog does, but the code in my .htaccess file looks a little different. Here’s what I use:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^5starslots.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.5starslots.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    Whenever someone goes to a non-www page of your site, the above code (in the .htaccess file) instantly redirects the page to the www version.

    Try going to http://5starslots.com/new-slots-1.html and you can see how this works. The non-www is redirected to the www version immediately.

    Google Webmaters Tools does let the webmaster set the Preferred Domain

    Preferred domain [?]

    If xwww.slottipsguide.com and slottipsguide.com point to the same site, you can tell us here how you want URLs to display in our index.

    Display URLs as xwww.slottipsguide.com (for both xwww.slottipsguide.com and slottipsguide.com)

    Display URLs as slottipsguide.com (for both xwww.slottipsguide.com and slottipsguide.com)

    Don’t set an association

    I read online that duplicate content like alex mentioned is not a problem and only a rumour. There is tons of duplicate content across the net google doesnt penalise everyone for it otherwise there would be penalties everywhere.
