I noticed that the majority of our pages in the yahoo index are non-www versions of our site.

Seems like the only decent rankings that I get on Yahoo is on the few www pages that we have indexed.

Our urllist.txt uses http://www.* for all of our links and we have 301s setup if to resolve to www if anyone access a page with without using www.

Does anyone know why Yahoo might be indexing the non www version and how to get Yahoo to index the www. version of our pages?

Thanks in advance!

The 301 redirect will take care of it. Allow a few months for it to kick in.

Use a HTTP Header Viewer to make sure that it really is a 301 redirect.

If it is a 302 redirect then you will have a lot of problems.

Hmmm. I used the first http header viewer that showed up in a Google search and the results were:

HTTP/1.1·301·Moved·Permanently(CR)(LF)

for one of our returning url results in yahoo search.

I am stumped as we optimized the site with 301s since its inception (more than a year ago) but I just recently noticed the yahoo results were predominantly indexing the site without www.
