Removing www = seo dropdown
Hi guys, I have a site from January 2015.
Anyway, I always had the problem of duplicate content.
www and not-www was both accessible with the same content.
Around three days ago I removed www from htaccess and from google webmaster tool.
Anyway, I noticed today my site has dropped 2 position on my main key word. Is this normal? Is it just temporary?

Why would you completely remove access to one of them? Surely a simple redirect would do a better job.
Yes, I mean I made a 301 redirect,, sorry
It'll bounce back
Use hitleap to increase SEO by 100 points, and don't forget to use SSL for an extra 10 points.
Be careful, he might actually believe you on that first point.
removing a way of reaching your website will of course drop you a few SEO points. A redirect should work, and anytime you change anything you will get a slight drop. But you should see it bounce back soon after
domain changes or redirection should takes time to proceeded by searching engines.
Zero traffic better than fake traffic
Why would you intentionally misguide somebody on a public forum? Do you think it makes you look cool?

he probably assumes OP is capable of noticing some sarcasm if it is jumping into his face.
Stop being so boring, most of SEO is just assumptions and rumours anyway.
A bit like saying baseless things to curry favour in a public forum, then. Cool!
Vaya con Dios would have been a better answer there xD Let your actions match the avatar man, but yeah, most SEO stuff is really just a guessing game, keywords can work or not, luck of the draw sometimes
LET is not known for being friendly towards SEO topics due to the history of spammers and abusers that tie along with that category.

SEO is easy - just post content that people are compelled to consume and share.
Coming up with the content is the hard part, especially if you're trying to optimise for a boring homogenous business.
