What's the difference? George,

I was looking at http://www.17to40.co.uk and not 17to40.co.uk. What’s the difference?

Dan @George, i’m sort of guessing :)

The cache date of http://17to40.co.uk was 13/2/07 but it’s been spidered again on 17/2/07 and is still showing the cache as http://www.endsleigh.co.uk

I can’t be sure but it seems as though the 301 is still there, although I don’t suppose it will be for long now they’ve dropped.

It used to be there but I thought they removed it. @Dan, Where are you seeing this 301? It used to be there but I thought they removed it.

It's still showng as invalid for me. N.B. There is a difference when using 17to40.co.uk and www.17to40.co.uk @Kevin, Did you try the SEOLogs tool to check the pagerank?

I still can't work out why it helped their rankings though? Possibly they set www.17to40.co.uk as the main URL in their Google webmaster console settings? They definitely have an account: http://www.17to40.co.uk/sitemap.xml Maybe this confused Google into amalgamating all the links from both sites? http://17to40.co.uk has the PR7 of http://www.endsleigh.co.uk/ Anybody have any other theories?
