[TYPO3] Problem with domain record

[Pawel Stanislawczuk]

Hi,

Sounds like I've made a real mess with that.
I suggest to insert "Use at own risk" in redirect domain record ;)

I will stay in my present configuration:
No redirect, no google link domains, just base_url set to www.domain.com 
(one with www is my favorite;)

And SEO the word "domain" to www.domain.com all over.

All this thing is really strange to me, I've used domain redirect several 
times, there were no problems with google word positioning or "domain.com" 
disappearing yet.

Maby previous webmaster of this domain "strangly" positioned those two 
domains?

Regards,
Pawel Stanislawczuk
