HI all, not sure if this is the right forum to put this in. but im optimizing for seo and want to put this error right.

Search engines may think footy-manager.com and www.footy-manager.com are two different sites.You should set up a permanent redirect (technically called a "301 redirect") between these sites. Once you do that, you will get full search engine credit for your work on these sites.

Add this to your .htaccess:

 

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

 

Changing 'example.com' to your actual domain. This will forward the non-www version of the site to the www version of the site.
