bxflow Reviewed by bxflow on 25th Jul 2010. Backlink question Currently I have a domain that works on both www.domain.com and domain.com. However I want to make it that whenever someone browses to any of the 2 listed above is always redirects to domain.com. In short: My site will always be domain.com I have several thousands of backlinks pointing to www.domain.com, will the change to only domain.com affect the backlinks in a negative way (the ones that point to www.domain.com)?

I thought I made myself clear, I did a permanent 301 redirect in my .htaccess file. Yes I know search engines will see the www. version and the non-www. version as 2 different websites. I have also added the canonical link between the headers.

However I need to know if all the backlinks pointing to the www.domain.com will still count as a backlink for my site?
