I'll concur that I don't give any money to Godaddy for this and other reasons, but if you are happy with them I hope this helpls:

When using a Windows server, you can redirect to a 301 page using IIS.

1. In the Internet Services Manager, select the file or folder you want to redirect.
2. From the right-click menu, select a redirection to a URL.
3. Specify the file name of the page to which you want to redirect.
4. Select The exact URL entered above.
5. Select A permanent redirection for this resource.
6. Click Apply.

I have a customer who had prior help on his website and I noticed a 301 redirect in his .htaccess

Rule for duplicate content removal : www.domain.com vs domain.com

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^MY-CUSTOMER-SITE.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.MY-CUSTOMER-SITE.com/$1 [R=301,L,NC]

The result of this rule is that i type MY-CUSTOMER-SITE.com in the browser and it redirects to www.MY-CUSTOMER-SITE.com

I wonder if this is causing issues in SERPS.  If I have some inbound links pointing to www.MY-CUSTOMER-SITE.com and some pointing to MY-CUSTOMER-SITE.com, I would think that this rewrite isn't necessary as it would seem that Googlebot is smart enough to know that these aren't two sites.

-----Can you comment on whether this is a best practice for all domains?
-----I've run a report for backlinks.  If my thought is true that there are some pointing to www.www.MY-CUSTOMER-SITE.com and some to the www.MY-CUSTOMER-SITE.com, is there any value in addressing this?
