Re: What is URL Canonicalization?
Ah, I see - it's the duplicate content rule that I wasn't cognisant of! Monday, July 13th, 2009
Re: To www or not...
Hi Faradina,
I'm not sure that I follow you, if "Search engines think that the www is different from the non-www address" then why would they "only display one version of your site in the search listings"?
Let me put a frame around it, so to speak. I agree that one should only market one of the two, let's say "mydomain.com". What my intent is, is that someone may remember the domain name and type in, or link to, "www.mydomain.com"; so if that traffic is "redircted" to mydomain.com, then mydomain.com will (also) get the traffic that arrived at www.mydomain.com.

URL Canonicalization Lesson
I was reading the lesson on the similar title and I (may) have a way to use both:
You can write some javaScript (or PHP, I suppose) to redirect from the one to the other. Let's say the mydomain.com is your SEO site, put the following javascript in the HTML header (above the robots meta tag):
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
if(/www\./.exec(window.location.toString)) { document.location="http://mydomain.com"; }
</script>
As the lesson/article points out, many people will not bother to type the www, they'll go straight to "mydomain.com"; however folks like me will type "mydomain" in their browser and press crtl+enter (which fills in the "www." and ".com" for one and then browses to the site).
I haven't tested this. Does anyone know if search engine spiders will see this as bad linking?

Introducing Myself
Hello Everyone!
I'm a coder/programmer/web developer from South Africa.
I've run through the Introduction pages and videos here at Afflorama and found much of what I expected and a few things that I hadn't thought of too.
Looking at the next section, there's some very useful informtion in there - I actually quite enjoy learning new things - like the allinheader google search and the "search volume" stuff...
This brings me to my question: is there a particular number that one is lookng for when running a search volume?
Looking forward to chatting with you folks.
Regards
Darren
