I just discovered something I thought I would share. Type in your website in the browser bar as yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com. Do they come up 2 different ways? If so you may have a problem. I added this rewrite to my site last night and this morning I woke up to a front page Google ranking. I was previously on the 7th page! WOW

This is my htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^thesafestcandles.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.thesafestcandles.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

I hope you are not kidding yourself that adding a canonical correction rewrite made an overnight difference. SEs don't work like that with redirects.

It didnt help my page ranking per se. It did help with 2 specific keyword searches I built the site for. These 2 keyword searches were deep in google pages and after changing that they were on ther first page.
