Adding a website to Google search engine.

I,ve recently added a couple of websites to Google search engine but when
they appear on google, under the page description the www is missing before
the name of my website. I have checked that i added the site with google
correctly and wonder if the problem is with my hosting or FTP. Any advice
will be appreciated.

The only problem is you have http://website.com and http://www.website.com
opening the same site Google will see duplicate content as G sees them as 2
different urls serving the same content. Best way is to set up your server
so that http://website.com redirects to http://www.website.com - or vice
versa if you prefer without the www.

On *nix servers the redirect can be done in htaccess in windows it can be
set in IIS either way it's a 5 minute job that's well worth doing.

Cheers,
Jon
