Google Webmasters will only help you with Google rankings, think about the rest. And yes, I have read many cases in which the site's rankings were badly hit due to two URLs. I strongly recommend you to redirect non-www site of yours to www, that would prevent any SEO damage to your site. :) Google says the same: <blockquote>Note: Once you've set your preferred domain, you may want to use a 301 redirect to redirect traffic from your non-preferred domain, so that other search engines and visitors know which version you prefer.</blockquote> Hi,

I've added the SEO Requirement, please follow it. Thanks. :) Hi,

Google would index your new URLs automatically the next time it crawls your site, but you are supposed to redirect your old URLs to the new one or your posts will be having two URLs in Google Index.

I’ve added the SEO Requirement, please follow it.
