Suppose that I do 301 redirect from domain-name.com to www . domain-name.com,
so the people coming to domain-name.com will be directed to www . domain-name.com ,

So will the referrer to www . domain-name.com change to domain-name.com?

i just want to have logs where both domain-name.com and www . domain-name.com gets logged at one place and they dont become referrers.

Help Alwayz Appreciated.

Read up about htaccess first start with this WF Post by SEO_MIKE

Then read up on this that should give you the knowledge your looking for.
 
thanks Aequitas,

Although i had found out how to the 301 redirect, it was pretty useful info. i havent tried that out.

Here's a scenario which mite help me explain my question properly,

Suppose i do a 301 redirect from domain-name.com to www. domain-name.com, i was ranking high for lots of long tail keywords on domain-name.com, if i do 301 redirect, all these traffic would be logged as coming from domain-name.com and not the original keywords. Or will it be logged for those keywords?

Apologies if i sound stupid

Your site has nothing to do with the keywords man, if your inbound links were broken up 50/50 and you do an htacess redirect then they will be combined, basically you've always got two instances of a site, one is www. whatever.com and the other is whatever.com so if you don't do a htacess redirect then google will say ok there are 50 inbound links to whatever.com and none to www. whatever.com, now both www. whatever.com and whatever.com will be hit with a duplicate content penalty (Well technically speaking, haven't seen much proof of it).

Since Google is looking at two sites (Even though when the urls are entered into the address bar they lead to the same sight), so before the redirect say you've got 50 links headed towards whatever.com and only 5 towards www. whatever.com by doing a redirect it'll combine the 50 + 5 to give you a total of 55 inbound links and after that Google will only see ONE site and not two.

This applies to all the search engines not just Google but lets only worry about Google, Yahoo, and MSN for now, but do you get the point, you'll rank higher for keywords if you do the htaccess redirect because the SE's will no longer be treating your site like two different sites they will be treating it as one site, which is what you want.
