Probably because while promoting the site via links or directories etc. you used mysite.com and not "www.mysite.com" - you can easily fix that via .htaccess rewrite.
RewriteEngine On
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mysite.com
rewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mysite.com
rewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
It is not necesary to "fix" it.
Which one do you want? Do you have a lot of links to one or the other? Some think the non www is more modern.
You need to decide which one you want and then do some tweaks like above to force the server to serve one or the other to keep all your links on one or the other for better SEO.

I promoted the site with "www" included so I think I want to have the "www" included. I've tried tweaking the .htaccess but it doesn't seem to work. On the other hand, shouldn't the two versions be essentially the same to search engines and that it doesn't matter if I have the "www" or not in terms of promoting/linking my site?
