- Even though we have implemented a redirect from all non-www subdomains to www.a1importsautoworks.com they have still not taken affect. Actually, when searching for all the pages index by Google for non-www we get 29 results. When search for all pages with www we get a total of 16. Sooner or later Google will get the message and hopefully combine the two.

- We now over 140 pages indexed in Google which is huge jump from zero about 2 months ago. Unfortunately Google is still indexing non-www domains. I guess the redirect isnt fully updated.
