Hi taufiq ridha,

> if i added my site to google withhttp://example.com .....

I guess you mean to your Webmaster Tools account?

> and did have effect for indexing and crawling if im not use www in
> front of my site name,

No, It has no effect on indexing and crawling per se.
You can add it either way, with or without the www.

What you do want to do is set the preferred domain
in the tools section.
Here is the Google help on how to do this.
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=44231

You can also set up your site on your host to serve only one version
no matter which version is requested by using 301 permanent
redirection.

For more background on www vs non-www this article may be of interest.

It is important that with whichever version you choose
is that you are consistent.
If you use absolute addressing in the site navigation
use only the preferred version.
Do the same with any submitted sitemaps.

Hope that helps,
Abracadabra
