Just checked it for you and it looks to be working A-OK
Basically, if you try and type in finalduties.co.uk in your URL bar now, you will see that you're taken to the www.finalduties.co.uk website - just as intended.

Hi Guys thanks for you answers, i a bit of noob when it comes to .htacess but my file now looks like this,
# BEGIN WordPressOptions +Followsymlinks
** RewriteEngine On**
** RewriteBase /**
** RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f**
** RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d**
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^finalduties.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.finalduties.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
CheckSpelling On
# END WordPress
As you can see there was already some data in the file so i just added the 2 lines
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^finalduties.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.finalduties.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
How can i check if this is working?
Many thanks for your help

I agree with Tom
The issue is related to the www and non-www version of your site being indexed.
Here is a simple fix it using 301 redirects in .htaccess if you have access to it.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^finalduties.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.finalduties.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L] -
You've effectively got 2 versions of your homepage live and ranking.
Using web-sniffer, you can see that both finalduties.co.uk and www.finalduties.co.uk are both giving 200 responses. Google is effectively seeing both versions as two separate pages.
This can obviously be a problem because it might lead to duplicate content. What you would want to do is 301 redirect one URL to the other.
Looking at your site architecture and linking, it looks as though you will want to 301 redirect http://finalduties.co.uk to http://www.finalduties.co.uk. For more info on 301 redirecting, follow this guide.

How can you promote a sub-domain ahead of a domain on the SERPs?
I have a new client that wants to promote their subdomain uk.imagemcs.com and have their main domain imagemcs.com fall off the SERPs. Objective? Get uk.imagemcs.com to rank first for UK 'brand' searches. Do a search for 'imagem creative services' and you should see the issue (it looks like rules have been applied to the robots.txt on the main domain to exclude any bots from crawling - but since they've been indexed previously I need to take action as it doesn't look great!). I think I can do this by applying a permanent redirect from the main domain to the subdomain at domain level and then no-indexing the site - and then resubmit the sitemap. My slight concern is that this no-indexing of the main domain may impact on the visibility of the subdomains (I'm dealing with uk.imagemcs.com, but there is us.imagemcs.com and de.imagemcs.com) and was looking for some assurance that this would not be the case. My understanding is that subdomains are completely distinct from domains and as such this action should have no impact on the subdomains. I asked the question on the Webmasters Forum but haven't really got anywhere

Should I be concerned about Google indexing an old domain if the listings redirect to the new domain?
I noticed this about Moz's old domain SEOMoz.org. If the URLs from the old domain are redirecting, is there any reason to be concerned about an old domain still appearing to be indexed by Google? See here: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=site%3Aseomoz.org Links to seomoz.org are listed, but if you click them they redirect to moz.com. Is this anything to be concerned about or is everything operating as expected?

Multiple domains on the same hosting
Hello, I have around 80 sites (different domains) which are on the same host. Everytime I look up the IP of these domains, it gives me the same IP. The sites are interlinked, all linking to the main domain. My question is: Does the off site link building have effect on the 80 sites?

Multiple (different) domains and canonicalisation
Hello, We've had experience with canonical tags for various domains before, such as tidying up product categories etc... However, can anyone point me to any guidelines about different domains using canonicalisation. For example: If I had the following sites, all with identical content - exampledomain.com completelydifferentdomain.net anothertotallydifferentdomain.com With canonical tags pointing to the first one (exampledomain.com), could this be harmful? Is it better to 301 redirect the other sites? Thanks

Migrating to a subdirectory in the same domain
Hi! I have a new version of my website, running with a different CMS (joomla). In order to install the new CMS while not loosing my all content and links I was forced to install the new site in a subdirectory. So the old website was http://www.mydomain.com And the new one is http://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory I had redirected http://www.mydomain.com to http://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory but I am not sure if that is correct, or if it will generate SEO problems. I named the subdirectory with a keyword, at least to have any advantage of something that to my short knowledge looks bad... What do you think? Another question... I understand that it is a good SEO rule to optimize each page for a different keyword. Is it a problem if http://www.mydomain.com is not optimized for anything? Thanks!

Registering a domain for multiple years
Does registering or renewing a domain name for more than a year improve search as a result of a more trusted site and company that will seem to be around for longer than just a year?

Switch domain from one account to another at domain registrar
We need to move our domain from one account to another at our domain registrar (which is Moniker). Both the "from" account and "to" account will be at Moniker. The "from" account currently has privacy settings enabled and we'd also put these in place for the "to" account. Has anyone done this and see any impact on SEO? Is there any big or common mistakes that I should be aware of? Thanks all!
