Optional www expands Canonical confusion with MS Office Small Business Live & Google Pagemaker
Writing about web page http://tsfcoventry.co.uk
I have written about the problems of different aliases of a page such as to the WMCCM home page below.
http://www.wmccm.co.uk
http://www.wmccm.co.uk/WMCCM/
http://www.wmccm.co.uk/WMCCM/DesktopDefault.aspx
http://www.wmccm.co.uk/WMCCM/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1
The http:// has always been optional and so has the www so the 4 aliases’ above becomes 16 or 32 if you have https secure variations too.
Two of the main free and inexpensive website hosting options Microsoft Office Live Basics and Google Page Creator both create websites without the www at the start but these still work if www is added. These links also have many aliases’.
TSF Coventry’s site is provided by MS and the main version does not use the www. so all links to the site should look like http://tsfcoventry.co.uk/structural.aspx for their structural steels page. Good practice should use the same URL convention for the internal links as those used for the inbound links.
