With or without www. in domain? It does not matter!

Actually we find the debate surrounding the issue of whether one should have www. or without www. in their domain to be extremely pointless. Search engines will still pick up your site regardless whether you choose to keep either one or otherwise. In my experience, I find that Google spiders my website URL with the www. far more quicker than the URL without the www.

Regardless, there is the danger of Google thinking that you have duplicate websites if both the www. and the non-www. of your URL are spidered and listed side by side in search engine rankings. To solve that issue, use a .htaccess redirect to forward either the non-www. URL to the www. one, or vice-versa. My personal recommendation is to go with the www. version.

Assessing a good web directory

Every online business owner will make a website with the motive of having it seen by the world; the world that comprises of prospective customers, friends and families. Exposure is what everyone on the internet strives for. Some few years ago, big web link directories were the preferred form of looking up things like services, products, stores, various pertinent websites. People usually referred to the web directory link for any particular assistance in their research.

However today, with the introduction of search engines, directories have become less prevalent. But this does not mean that this form of looking up precise information has become extinct. Even the mighty search engines have authenticated the directories. Obviously you cannot depend on them for traffic but it can certainly help boost your online business. You can expect the search engines to pick up your web directory link that’s present in several directories. This will not only provide you with more inbound links but also helps enhance the search engine rankings. There is a lot of hue and cry over the importance of search directories in the online world. The argument is that what makes the search engines readily accept such directories.

This is the real “Emporium Blog”

This is the real Emporium Blog.

I say this now because I have noticed that someone has been going around commenting in several Malaysian blogs using the TLD www.emporiumblog.com. According to the Whois, this domain was bought on 22nd February 2007, about four months after we have started this blog (called Emporium Blog, for obvious reasons). I am not sure whether the person who registered this domain is purposely trying to be malicious in copying our blog name or innocently unaware that we have built the Emporium Blog brand name from scratch. However, in any case, we will like to remind our readers to be aware of imitations. Stick to original products, and not fakes :mrgreen:
