How to do a non-www 301 redirect with a Yahoo! Store

August 13, 2008

Yahoo! Stores

Before we figured out how to do this we tried researching with Google and couldn’t find the solution anywhere.  So here is how you do it:

  1.  Login to your Yahoo! Store
  2. Enter your Yahoo! security key
  3. You should now be on the dashboard page.  On the far right under “Site Settings” click “Domain Name”
  4. Under “Domain Redirect Settings” click the box for “Redirect all host names to my domain.”
  5. This is where you choose your primary URL whether you want www.example.com or just example.com
  6. That’s it, you’re done.

One thing to note before you decide you want the www.example.com version or the example.com as the primary url.  Check the search engines to see which version of your URL has the most indexed pages.  If you have a lot of pages indexed under the non-www version of your site you may want to consider using that as your primary URL.  You can view your number of indexed pages under each version by typing “site:example.com” or “site:www.example.com” into any of the search engines.

YOU’RE WELCOME!” - Nick Burns

    You’ll need this to list non-www URLs in Google:

    site:domain.com -inurl:www
