Thanks for sharing this. But, My former host blocked the Googlebot on my blog for me using the 301 re-direct. It increases the load on the server to redirect everytime a page hits it seems. To me, I would prefer directly telling Google to do what I need. After all, we don't have any issue with people visiting our sites with or without the leading WWW right? That’s awesome.

That way, your links won't be broken and they won't be removed from Google, but the preferred URL will replace them whenever possible. It has other uses too, like when you change your permalink structure. Another method if you’re using WordPress is the Permalink Redirect plugin at http://scott.yang.id.au/code/permalink-redirect/

See, the heart of the matter is Google treating these URLs with or without WWW as two different URLs. This option will tell Google that it's the same URL with or without WWW. So, actually, you won't lose any back-links. What would happen is whether people link to you with or without the WWW, both will contribute to your site's overall PageRank.

I never even clicked that Tools link in all this time I've been using Google Webmaster Tools, so thanks for writing this post! My only concern is that I will lose backlinks from people who might have linked to my blog and used the www even though it is not part of my domain name. Will that happen?

I have only just installed it to my site and after seeing this post I changed the setting. It was set to no association, so I changed it to display as www. for both options. I assume I did it right! I hope I did anyway! :D Thanks again! Thank you so much for this!
