    I wrote a post on using a 301 redirect in your .htaccess , do you think that is better or worse than using php with the yes-WWW plugin?

    Which is better
    1) redirect http://www.domain.com to domain.com
    or 2) redirect domain.com to http://www.domain.com

    from the point of view of SEO.
