    CNAME alias and linking

    Hello,
    I use a CNAME alias and I'm not sure where to have incoming links point. My domain is www.gonnaluvit.com but if you go to that site, you will be directed to http://www.gonnaluvit.com/storefront...spx?sfid=67729 .

    This is because I use this companies shopping cart and they don't have a way for me to have a direct address, so I use a CNAME.

    I have been having my link partner’s link to my domain www.gonnaluvit.com, but I'm not seeing results. In the Google toolbar, I show a PR of zero when I go to my home page that redirects to: http://www.gonnaluvit.com/storefront...spx?sfid=67729, but if I research my PR for the domain name index, I get a 2 or 3.

    Where should I aim these incoming links for best results?
    Thank you.

    Direct the IBLs to the domain/page that has the content. I would also make it practice to have websites point to the regular domain name because you may not use CNAME in the future and it would be best if the domain name itself receives the IBL credit and not some CNAME URL.
