Talkupation: sar-photo is on a distinguished road
Hi, I have just googled my website and google returned a url of sar-photography.com - it missed out the www. at the beginning. As a result of this, the flash components on my site do not display at all.
Can anybody tell me why google is truncating my url?

Cheers
Simon

You have backlinks pointing to the non-www version.

a far better solution would be to 301 redirect the non-www to the www
