URL With or Without WWW?

After purchasing a new domain, you need to decide whether to have your new URL with or without www.

For example:
http://www.cashblogtips.com or
http://cashblogtips.com

So you may ask, besides spelling, what are their differences and which one is the best option?

For URL with www, it helps to identify your url as a web address, especially if you have a domain without a .com one. Many of us will type it in anyway, and for some people, your url looks more appealing this way.

For URL without www, it looks shorter and cleaner and after all, it is unnecessary to have it. This is because, for most websites or blogs, the URLs with or without www will point to the same site; which means if you type in http://www.cashblogtips.com or http://cashblogtips.com, you will find yourself landed here.

Therefore, it really does not matter whether you want to have www or without www at the beginning of your domain. But, what really does matter is you need to be CONSISTENT with your URL structure. Here is the reason why:

Google and some other search engines see these two URLs as two different URLs and they could dilute your site PageRank value. To avoid this, you just need to choose either one, with or without www, based on your personal preference and set redirection to your desired one.
