Redirecting the Non-www Version of Your Domain
Even the big guys get this wrong as shown in this post from Malcolm Coles.The www.domain.co.uk version of your domain is not the same as domain.co.uk. Depending on houw your site and server is setup, if a visitor leaves out the www part of the domain, they will eaither see an error or they will be directed to the non-www version which isn't great for search engine rankings.
If your site returns an error when omitting the www, you're not alone - the Jessops, The Body Shop and WHSmith sites all return nothing (The operation timed out when attempting to contact thebodyshop.co.uk.), giving their customers a frustrating experience!
It really takes little effort to get this right and ensure you're not driving your customers away!
