Choosing a Preferred Domain in Google Webmaster Tools

The other day I noticed that one of our client’s sites had both the www version and non-www version of their domain working. This meant that when I typed in clientsite.com into the address bar the site did not automatically redirect to www.clientsite.com. I was worried that this might be impacting their SEO in some way, so I threw both domains into SEOMoz’s OpenSite Explorer tool and found that the two URLs actually had slightly different back link profiles.

It never comes to my mind that those simple mistake was a big trouble. So now I see, that it is important to have a single preferred domain to avoid penalty.
