SEO - www.yourdomain.com versus yourdomain.com

Permalink
Hello,

Regarding my Webmaster Tools Site Settings, it was recently set to: Display urls as yourdomain.com - but I've read that this may not be the best setting for SEO purposes. I'm not even sure why the redirect was set up in the first place. Most sites that I search come up with thehttp://www.yourdomain.com - including Google.

I need to increase traffic to my site as I let things go for a while when working on other projects. I'm not feeling comfortable that this url redirect is helpful. Can someone who is knowledgeable about SEO comment please? I have a person who helps me on the back-end of my site - I am not a programmer/designer. I just write and load content, and I have someone else handle anything technical that I don't know how to do.

Hope someone can give me advice. Right now I'm thinking I need to switch everything back tohttp://www.yourdomain.com and leave it at that. (My real website name is below)

Thanks!
