My website appears for both www and non www which I'm told is bad for SEO as it looks like duplicate content.

Is there a way in Freeola settings to make sure only www works?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
You can tell Google how to cope with this...

You can use Google's 'Webmaster Tools' as advised here:
Set your preferred domain (www or non-www)


Post your URL if you want people to take a look and check you aren't missing any obvious tricks :¬)

Not really something for us to do, but rather a file for you to add to your site folder, as follows;

Adding htaccess redirect

Although, in truth, there are a lot of things that are "bad" for SEO, most of them do negligible or zero damage to your rankings. This as far as I am aware falls under that category, meaning that you are unlikely to notice any difference whatsoever.
