    Hi Lasantha Bandara!

    This is a good tutorial. I have similar but different question. I have eNome and Godaddy domains. I like to redirect Godaddy domain to eNome. Can I do it using this method? I check the Godaddy DNS settings, I think permanent redirect is SEO friendly and it's not lost the backlinks. Am i correct?

    301 is working

    In the advanced settings do I need to check the box:

    Redirect domain.com to www.domain.com.

    Hi bro. I am Roonie. Thanks for the article. I have same problem with my godaddy domain in blogger, I applied 301 redirection and it works nice now. Is it safe to redirect every post with 301 to www. urls?

    Thanks for these tips again.
