htaccess question

[DangerDave]

does this help with Google listings, too?

Don't know if "help" is the right word.. but yes it can effect your Google listings..

Rule #1 - always use http://www.domain.com/ when linking, when exchanging links etc, and then ALWAYS use it into the future.

Rule#2 - if you use http://domain.com/ then keep using that syntax.. dont mix them up.

The permanent redirect "should" help refine your pages and SE listings, as google will find http://www.domain.com/ each time.

IF it is done as a permanent redirect, it will not be classed as "redirecting" by the SE's and robots.
