Redirect from non to www prefix

7 June 2007 12 Comments

I love this plugin, Enforce www. Preference. I actually have looking for this plugin since I know about SEO and concern about being penalized by search engines. By redirecting your website from non www to www prefix, it will increases your chance to get higher place in SERP.

The idea is simple. For an example, click on this link.

Even the url above not has www prefix, the plugin will redirect it to the same article but with www prefix as the link below.

Just found this interesting and thought you might also want to check your website SEO score.

Website Grader is an online tool which you can use to check your website SEO score. This website will analyze your website based on these criteria.

What I like about Website Grader is, beside it shows you what mistakes your website has, it also give you explanations about the mistakes and suggestions to improve and to fix them.

Stop using Firefox 1.5. Get Firefox 2.0

Why you still using Firefox 1.5 even new version Firefox 2.0.0.4 (more about Firefox) is available?

I agree with the step taken by Mozilla. They said that the recent update to Firefox 1.5 is the last updates. No more updates for Firefox 1.5 after this. Instead, they also include a prompt to download Firefox 1.5.0.12 which allow user to upgrade to Firefox 2.0.

For me, if there is new update available, I will go for it. Usually, latest update has new security fixes and new features. But I agree, sometimes, there are still exist minor and major problems. But at least, it give me more protections. Am I right? 😉
