Pay attention to WWW

I just looked a few weeks worth of stats. 60% of the people who type my URL in directly type http://lagesse.org. 40% of people type in http://www.lagesse.org.
Too many companies either just do the www or don’t do it at all (look at this company - run my a friend of mine - here’s the WWW link, and here’s the no WWW link.
Both should work, certainly. I would even argue that browsers should accomodate this not, and search both. But they don’t (always).
So when you are setting up DNS for a domain, set up both domain_name.com AND www.domain_name.com. It really shouldn’t cost you a nickel more, and shouldn’t take more than an extra few seconds.
But it can save you a ton of missed visits.

That’s good advice, and what I always tell my customers to do as well.Well, at least that’s what I told my customers, but that’s another story.Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say I did respond to the question you posed during our ‘debate’ we had on deannie’s blog on Sept. 13th. Not sure if you read it or not.Anyway, have a good one.~
