I've created a website with Adobe Portfolio. I'm impressed, but I have an issue...
My Portfolio works just fine, but I can't find a way to have the naked name re-direct to the host name, or visa versa. Tech support says my site is doing this for them, but they're probably inside an Intranet. It certainly isn't doing this where I live.
From an SEO perspective WWW.EXAMPLE.COM and EXAMPLE.COM are treated as 2 unique sites, even though they are probably pointing to the same site. The one with the prefix (WWW) is the HOST name and the one without is the DOMAIN name. I know this, and so does Google's ranking system. The obvious result will be a much lower ranking, because having multiple websites saying the same thing will be seen as spamming.
I'm moderately DNS, Web Forwarding and 301 Redirect savvy, having set up this kind of thing many times in the past. Some of their help pages are complete rubbish and the technical information they do publish is lacking detail. It's funny how support drys up when the answer hasn't been scripted. However, I've followed their recommendations, as well as trying some of my own, and I'm fully aware of how long changes can take to propagate.
So, I'm asking do others have this problem, does anyone have a solution, or is there a way to escalate tech support?
A long post for a simple question, but thanks for reading it.
