Should I use www for Google or not? Does having www help SEO?

If you own a website, you probably know that you can type in your domain with or without the “www” and it will direct you to your website. While in the early days of the internet www was the norm, these days a good amount of sites don’t use www. So, are there any SEO-implications to choosing either option?

Using www before your domain has absolutely no effect on your search engine rankings. You don’t have to use www for anything. The only reason why you would use www.yoursite.com is if people would otherwise not recognize your domain name as a domain name. Which is something that is bound to happen, if you have a somewhat older target audience. But other than that use whatever you want. Use www or do not use www, whatever floats your boat.
