Yes, that’s right .. And it’s treating my URLs like that without an input from me.. I just found out today, about this feature.
Try :
link:http://dmoz.org and link:http://www.dmoz.org
link:http://xperts.ro and link:http://www.xperts.ro
link:http://v7n.com and link:http://www.v7n.com
All results are the same for the www and non-www search.
I don’t know if they’ve gotten around to everyone, but I’m still seeing a difference here:
link:http://nytimes.com – 10,900
and
link:http://www.nytimes.com – 196,000
That`s great, i`m really glad they did this. It was really wrong.
But i am thinking at a fact, what if i make a website on the ‘www’ subdomain ?
Bill, maybe there’s a spreading pattern, that’s not finished yet. I also told Jen (on the Webmasterradio chatroom), that I think, the option to treat www the same as the non-www version, is ON by default, in everyone’s sitemaps account (or if someone doesn’t have a sitemaps account, it’s still ON by default) and the OFF state (treat www as one entity, and non-www as another), is the one who’s activated by the user’s choice.
Sandossu, you have that option in your sitemaps account. To disable or enable the feature.
Isn’t it unnecessary change ?
I think it’s a good update. This way webmasters don’t *have* to enforce www or non-www for users. I do notice that google.com does a www-enforce which pushes uses to http://www.google.com anyway.
It`s a good update. It wasn`t fair to see two different sites with www and without it. I noticed that you can select a prefered domain, from your sitemaps account.
I dont think its the same thing,
What abou the site:http://dmoz.org and site:http://www.dmoz.org ; ther are not same at all.
