Takeshi, that was great thank you

Think it is a HTAccess issue, just opened it up and I have the following, do I just strip out the trailing slash on

RewriteBase /newsite/ or do I have to strip out a few more?

Don't like messing with my hataccess so any help to point me in the right direction would be great!

# BEGIN WordPress
 <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /newsite/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /newsite/index.php [L]</ifmodule> 

# END WordPress

Good point!

Just checked and www.domain.co.uk redirects to www.domain.co.uk/

This a htaccess issue perhaps?

Self hosted!

I have set it as www.domain.co.uk in the settings but for some reason it is still showing with the slash when I view the site

Hi recently changed my site so it is based on Wordpress, got my preferred domain set in Google webmaster as

www.domian.co.uk

but since moving to wordpress my domain is now having a slash put on the end of it like

www.domain.co.uk/

Most of the links going to my homepage do not have the slash on the end so am I right in thinking I should get rid of the slash from my site so I have one consistent url?

If so any ideas how to banish the slash? Cannot seem to do it through the Wordpress general settings (despite preferred domain being set as www.domain.co.uk !)

Thanks

Thanks, so keep alt text same

What I was going to do was say with alt text was -

On red cheese page 'Get a quote on our red cheese'
On Cheshire cheese page 'Get a quote on our cheshire cheese'

So just to confirm I'd be best just using

'Get a quote on our cheese'?

(Do people use alt text for call to action buttons anyway?)

Redoing my site at the moment and placing a few call's to action around it.

The calls to action are pretty basic, along the lines of 'click here to get a quote', when you click you get taken to an anchor towards the bottom of the same page that takes you to a contact form.

I've based the Calls to action on just a brightly coloured gif image that has text written on to it (not in code but added via photoshop)?

This the right way to go, or should I be putting the text actually on my page and using a background coloured element to do it?

The same image is used across several pages (got a couple of these images which I use across the site) and thinking it's easier to do it this way rather than code?

Adding alt text to images 'Click here to get quote on X' (X being product) and also using img title tag for when mouse i hovering over - Click here to get a quote!

Don't want to get hit by any dupe content issue for using the same image on multiple pages etc (I could always no index the folder where the call to action images are stored if this helps?)

This sound ok to you pros?

Really stupid question (I think) but does Left or right hand navigation help or hinder SEO and/or user experience?

Re-doing our site at the moment and I quite like right hand navigation as it seems to highlight our content better but not sure if it would hinder anything SEO wise - site is based on a responsive theme and side navigation is only called after content anyway so don't think it would make a difference SEO wise

Noticing more and more sites moving towards right hand nav and I quite like it, would also differentiate us in our niche as everyone else uses left hand nav

As I say probably a stupid question but thought I would ask!
