With www.

i just use www. cause it looks better then just domain.com
i dont think it has any affect if at all on your google rankings.

I thinks its useless, and im too lazy to type it. www. has no purpose, so dont use it.

never used it never will domain.com looks better than www.domain.com and as far as i know this does not affect seo

As stated by hyperz, i want proper reasons, not just "use www" or "don't use it!"....

It has been playing on my mind for a while.

it doesnt matter dude...
for appearance only if you ask me... do give your users consistancy throughout your pages.
Google has a option of displaying URL's with www. or without..

The thing is though i believbe it does make a difference and i really do want to know.... most people i have asked that i believe are4 experienced have said to use www. but none of them have been able to give solid evidence of claims or even claims... i really wanna know some facts.

[Curtis129]

the fact is that it doesnt matter, if you use www. then make sure all inbound links to you have www.
if you dont, vise-versa.

Well i have changed it to www. and in two days i seem to be getting far more traffic, now each time i look there is around 15 online, before it was around 5-10... i have no idea if changing my links to www. was the cause of this though....

But yeah i think i will force it to www. withg .htaccess now... I am still interested in more opinions if anyone has info that has not already been posted.
