Just a brief update:

After 1.5 months since implementing http:// to [www...] 301 redirect:

link:site.com
is now matching
link:www.site.com numbers.

Up until 24 hours ago, link:site.com was returning 0, which it had been doing since 3 days after the 301 was put in place.

There's also been an increase in the backlink count.

site:www.site.com still shows the home page buried at around position 100, which it has been since soon after the 301 was added.

General G rankings and G traffic are still way down on prior to the 301 implementation (down about 75%).

Still showing PR6 in toolbar and G directory. We also appear to have climbed up a notch in the directory in the last day or so. Y! and MSN traffic unaffected, Y! rankings and traffic have actually improved a little.
