I've also noticed the general opinion on the internet (which is never wrong!) suggests that Google gives "www." sites a slightly higher ranking. I guess it makes sense, given that traditionally the first part of the URI was used to indicate the protocol ("ftp." "www." "gopher." etc). Now that's showing my age. Cheers.
