How do I make it clear to Google that my domain name contains `www` like www.wwwexample.com?
I've noticed that domain names containing www (e.g., http://www.wwwexample.com) sometimes are ranked lower in search results.
I have also noticed that Google assumes it to be www.example.com. For example,
my domain name has the format of www.wwwexample.com, and when I search on it, the first results are not my domain, but the one with www omitted (i.e., www.example.com). Both of these domains however refer to totally different content.
Is there any strategy or approach to making it clear to Google that it's actually www.wwwexample.com and not www.example.com?
Using www in a domain name like www.wwwexample.com is likely confusing to users and Google as well, since www is usually a subdomain.
If you're not open to reconsidering the domain name, then the following strategy should be helpful:
- You should probably
301redirectwww.wwwexample.comto the root domainwwwexample.comto make the URL and links a bit clearer to users. - Setup a Google Webmasters Tools account
wwwexample.comand verify it. - Tell Google that the preferred domain is
wwwexample.com - Submit a sitemap containing links to just
wwwexample.com - Make sure your titles and content state
wwwexample.com(without any space after thewww) - Try to obtain as many (quality) backlinks from other sites to help Google build trust and recognition for
wwwexample.com
