A site im working on has had a 301 redirect from www.site.com to site.com
I follow the practice of redirecting site.com to www.site.com. The question is, if I recommend redirecting site.com to www.site.com after the site achieved a page rank of 5, will it LOSE the pagerank it has built up? |

The redirected site will lose it's PageRank, yes. Because it basically won't exist anymore.

Safer for what? You are redirecting the site, it doesn't need PageRank then, right?

I guess I'm not clear why you're even asking.
Is it somehow causing you problems? |

Reason for edit: To remove inadvertant links.

I'd leave it the way it is WYF.
It doesn't really matter if you make the www or non-www version of your site the "main" url address. The advice you got is basically correct, in that in the best possible scenario you want either one or the other to be your main addres. However since you've already had it as the non-www version for some time I'd leave it that way. If you were to switch it at this point it's going to take the search engines a few months to catch up, which could hurt your rankings for a time. |

Im sure in the google accounts/tools somewhere there is a page that you can give your preferred domain. I believe it is for this canonoliccallaccall thingy
