Hello All,

I have made just about every rookie mistake that I can :-). This one I can't seem to fix, I found that my site was in the serps as mysite.com as well as www.mysite.com.

I was advised to fix this with a 301 redirect, this worked perfectly for google..

On yahoo I still see a listing for mysite.com, but it has the new content from www.mysite.com. In other words yahoo kept the source url but used the target content?. My serps went way down on yahoo after putting in the 301 redirect and I am now wondering if I am suffering a duplicate content penalty.

How can I get yahoo to drop the listings for non-www?. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Jean
