Do you think those stats are not an example of .net.au bleeding to .com.au?
Only thing those stats should encourage everyone to do is to 301 redirect from www to non-www or vice versa.
Now *that* is what I call bleeding.
As I've said Whirlpool is just a bad example. ABC is an ok example.
They may prove indicative to you but they are inconclusive to me.
I need a higher standard of proof.
