seo - Include the www prefix when adding a site to Google Webmaster Central? -

I'm wondering if I should add a www prefix when adding a website to Google Webmaster Central. Both versions of the website ( http://www.website.com and http://website.com ) are exactly the same, so I'm thinking that this difference

Choose another version only so that the search engines do not get confused with your site. Like without www, but it really does not matter.

Then redirect this code by adding it to .htaccess

  & lt; Ifmodule mod_rewrite.c & gt; Rewighting On RewritingCong% {HTTP_HOST} ^ www. Resource. Com $ [nc] rewriteual ^. * $ Http: //yoursite.com% {REQUEST_URI} [R = 301, L] & lt; / IfModule & gt;  

Then mark it in Google Webmaster Tools.

This is not very good when half your backlinks go to www.yoursite.com and half of yoursite.com backlinks
