Can someone comment on the SEO implication? I'm no expert,but I have heard it said that the closer your URL is to the http, the higher weight it is given.
For e.g http://ABC.com/my-seo-url http://ABC.com/my-seo-url vs http://www.xyz.com/my-seo-url http://www.xyz.com/my-seo-url
- theseanstewart 12y agoIf that was the case, you'd see a lot more websites with non-www URLs. It is definitely not a ranking factor.

- adventured 12y agoThere is zero direct SEO implication. www.wikipedia.org is not suffering from the www The only potential implication, is if users prefer your domain with a www or without for some reason, and that that causes a higher engagement level, more clicks in google search results, more social sharing, and so on. That would be considered an indirect SEO impact (and would likely vary widely from site to site and demographic to demographic), as Google does not rank either positively or negatively just for the www.
- SquareWheel 12y agoI'm pretty sure the only potential hit would be if users are inconsistent in writing links to your site. If everybody wrote www or non-www it'd be exactly the same. If it's mixed, users/bots are sent through a 301.
