Should backlink URLs include www, https, or both???

[udaipabla]

My business is located at remotebaba.com, and I am wanting several sites to link to it.
I am only interested in home page at this point, and we are using HTTPS for our site.

Which one of these should I have other sites link to (Please provide complete justification):
remotebaba.com (my root domain)
www.remotebaba.com
https://remotebaba.com
https://www.remotebaba.com

I really appreciate your help!

I also get confused about this my website url on Google search is like this when I copy the url and paste so I just add it to directories etc like it https://kpsroofinganddrivewaysltd.co.uk/

I always use the https just because that's typically where the destination link is anyway. My website https://www.dinosafetysurfacing.com has almost all the links pushed through the https and its doing really well via seo.
Basically, you dont want to split your link flow. Just makes it harder

You should always point your links to the final version you show users. In this case, you have all 3 redirected to https://www.visagurukul.com, then that should be the URL. (best digital marketing agency)

The thinking here is to be coherent on what you tell Users, other webs and Google. Don't waste Google's time making it go through redirections whenever you can avoid it.

Backlink URLs should ideally reflect the way the target website's URL is structured. If the target website uses "www" and "https," then the backlink should include both "www" and "https." Similarly, if the target website uses just the root domain without "www," and it's on "https," then the backlink should match that structure.

Consistency is key in maintaining a clean and organized backlink profile. Search engines like Google will consider both "www" and "non-www" versions of a domain, as well as "http" and "https" versions, as separate entities. Therefore, it's generally a good practice to be consistent with the way you link to a website. This helps in:

Avoiding Duplicate Content Issues: Search engines might treat "www" and "non-www" versions of a website as separate entities, potentially causing duplicate content issues.

SEO Consistency: Having consistent URLs in your backlinks helps search engines understand the authoritative version of your website. It also helps consolidate SEO authority to a single version.

User Experience: Consistent URLs in backlinks ensure that users are directed to the correct version of the website without encountering any confusion or redirection errors.

In summary, always try to mirror the URL structure of the target website in your backlinks, whether that includes "www," "https," or both.

Using HTTPS ensures secure communication between the user's browser and your website's server, which is important for both security and search engine optimization. Additionally, it's a good idea to set up redirects so that all variations (http, non-www, www, and non-https) are automatically redirected to the HTTPS version of your root domain. This helps maintain a consistent and secure user experience.

So, the recommended link for other sites to use is "https://gstcalculatorau.com/singapore-gst-calculator/".

Whether backlink URLs should include www and https depends on your website's configuration. If your website is configured to redirect all traffic from HTTP to HTTPS, then you should use the HTTPS version of your URL in backlinks. e.g. https://www.almondcoupons.com/ This is because Google and other search engines prefer HTTPS websites.

Hi udaipabla,

You should always point your links to the final version you show users. In this case, you have all 3 redirected to https://www.remotebaba.com, then that should be the URL.

Hope it helps.
Best luck.
