I have a rather large domain i am responsible for running a
webserver,
and in an effort to improve the site's rankings in search engines, a
consulting firm has suggested some interesting changes to the way the
webserver operates. Their first suggestion which i am struggling with is
to take all requests to
http://w.blah,
http://ww.blah and send a 301
redirect back to the user to
http://www.blah. Not being an apache
rewrite module expert, i thought i would throw the question out to the
community at large and see what suggestions might arise.
I don't know how such a redirect would influence search engine ranking,
but using mod_rewrite would looks like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)
http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301]
(I hope it will survive line wrapping, above instructions are 4 lines)
See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html for further details.
