Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Dani RIP Dream.In.Code :( Re: Do you participate in any other communities? Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Salem I'm a long-time moderator on cprogramming.com, but it's getting awfully quiet on many of the old forums. DiC was a loss, as was devshed.

The mods seem to be keeping it ticking over nicely. Re: Redirect non-www to www cons? Digital Media Digital Marketing Search Engine Strategies by Dani As someone who has been in the SEO industry for over two decades, it doesn't really matter if you use www or non-www. All that is important is that, whichever you choose, you stick to it. That means that all links on the web (social media, etc.) point to the same version of your domain.

Digital Media Digital Marketing Search Engine Strategies by Read a Book I was about to ask next about the `Google Search Console` whether i should make new property with `www` or not.
