If I’m reviewing wineries, can I get some of them as advertisers? If I’m reviewing books, can I get authors to participate and publishers to advertise or sponsor?

I’ve been waffling between using the “www” on my new site and not using it and a colleague told me that’s a problem with the search engine. She said I need to set the “preferred domain” in Google Webmaster Tools (GWT). How do I do that?

Let me explain…
