Redirect to one URL?

[Hymer]

Hello Everyone,

Some people talk about redirecting a site URL to a single instance of an
address. That is, there is a difference to search engines between:

www.usernomics.com
http://www.usernomics.com
usernomics.com which automatically converts to http://usernomics.com

The one that gets the most inbound links to my site is
http://www.usernomics.com . So I am interested in having the other partial
addresses point to this URL.

My thought is to put the following in my .htaccess file (but I have little
idea about what I am doing):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^usernomics\.com [nc]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.usernomics.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I need to get this right because it could cause drastic changes to my
rankings. My hope is to improve ranking by pointing all inbound links to the
same address.

Does this seem correct?

Thanks a lot,

Bob

I checked with someone who has a lot of technical expertise. He said that
this format would work best for having anything other than
http://www.usernomics.com be redirected to that URL:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.usernomics.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.usernomics.com/$1 [R,L]

Does this seem correct?

Thanks,
