  1. www is being stripped from URL

    Posted: 2008-10-14 22:23:52

    OK I think the first time I tried to claim I forgot to put the 'www.' in front of my domain name. So I deleted that claim and created a new one, with the 'www'. However, the www is still being stripped from the URL causing a redirect to my domain registrars 'that web site doesn't exist' page.

    My blog is
    http://www.techpolicygirl.com

    But is claimed as:
    http://techpolicygirl.com

    Did I reclaim too soon after deleting the first attempt?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello techpolicygirl:
    Technorati as well as many other web services treat "http://techpolicygirl.com" as synonymous with "http://www.techpolicygirl.com". If your blog only resides at "http://www.techpolicygirl.com", you'll want to implement a HTTP 301 Status in your web server for "http://techpolicygirl.com" to goto "http://www.techpolicygirl.com". Apache's mod_rewrite is a popular method of handling such requests.
