Interesting topic. For some reason, years ago, I decided the www. was redundant and I decided to promote my sites using sld.com. My largest site has about 100,000 backlinks (according to Yahoo) and about 2,000 link to the www. version of the domain name, so I used the DNS service at my registrar to redirect the www. to the non www. name.

This has worked fine for the most part, but I still occasionally have people pop up and tell me that I've done it wrong. The biggest problem is that when someone does a marketleap analysis on my sites, they always use a www. and my sites show very poor results. I guess it would only matter if I was going to sell one of these sites though.

If I had it to do all over again, I think I'd use the www. version.
