Cache gone for most non-www pages

is this a step in the right direction?

[suzie250]

I've been working on trying to get all non-www pages removed from Googles index which are also supplemental.

The redirect seems to be working ok on most pages but a few just seem to be stuck.

Today I have noticed that many of the non-www versions still hanging around no longer have a cache.

Do you think this is a step in the right direction or what?

Thanks,
Suzie

No. Makes no difference.

Yesterday for one of my sites all the supplementals were gone from the index, today they are all back. Also cache for those pages disappears en reappears again depending on the time of day, and weather forecast. Re-check tomorrow, the cache will probably be back.

Unfortunately there has been no single post on this board about any real progress in the supplemental issues of Google, except for the temporary glitch where whole sites went supplemental a few weeks ago and GoogleGuy personally interfered.

Internally I link to my pages as wiget.htm not [mysite.com...]
Is this considered the canonical problem? Internal linking?

Please excuse my ignorance on this issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

lammert, you may have missed the positive reports in the swarm of other posts, but I have read several. Just recently, see [webmasterworld.com...] mssg #183 from Grinler.

Brad (Need More Hits): relative linking does not, in itself, mean you will have a canonical problem. Do a site:example.com query and see if there are any pages listed by more than one url -- with and without index.html, or with and without "www" for instance.

tedster, with "except for the temporary glitch where whole sites went supplemental a few weeks ago" I was referring to the BigDaddy supplemental problem where some positive results have been seen.

Sorry for being not more precise.
