Answer 1

I have walking through this issue which i discovered today in my Anayltics account! Anyway i have found a good solution for Normal websites and WordPress based blogs.

First for normal website(s):

1. Open your website root .htaccess file and paste this code:

   RewriteEngine On (if this line exists, then don't add this line again).
# Rewrite all requests to the 'www' version
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.yourdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Second for WordPress Based Blog(s):

1. Open your website root .htaccess file and paste this code:

   # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.yourdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
   

Please note that you have to change "yourdomain" with your actual domain name.

Thank you and hope this help.
