Thanks Paul, I hadnt' noticed it.
I'll amend it now and give it another try.

Thanks Paul and thanks Dan.

Hi Dan,

Thanks very much for that. I've added that to the .htaccess file but whenj I've checked both pages still show.

I checked again via http://www.webconfs.com/redirect-check.php and then I get this error message:

Either http://www.nile-cruises-4u.co.uk/index.cfm is NOT REDIRECTING to any URL or the redirect is NOT SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY

I wonder if I've missed something?

Colin

My website has two versions of the homepage:

http://www.nile-cruises-4u.co.uk/http://www.nile-cruises-4u.co.uk/index.cfmI wondered if I could set up a 301 redirect in the .htaccess file so that only the http://www.nile-cruises-4u.co.uk page was returned as the homepage?Colin

That's great.

Thanks Lucas.

Thanks to Sanket Patel in an earlier query I've now got non-www pages showing as www. pages on my www.nile-cruises-4u.co.uk website.

But the Blog which is part of the site posts and pages still show as non-www pages.

For example:

http://nile-cruises-4u.co.uk/blog/makadi-palace-hotel-makadi-bay/

I wonder if anyone has come upon the same problem and what the solution might be?

Thanks,

Colin

Thanks to Sanket I've successfully managed to have the site show only www. and not the non-www. versions.

However I have a blog on the site and that still shows the non-www. version, for example:

http://nile-cruises-4u.co.uk/blog/makadi-palace-hotel-makadi-bay/

I wonder if anyone has come upon the same problem and what the solution might be?

Thanks,

Colin

Thank you very much Sanket.

That's so kind of you.

I currently have both WWW and non-WWW versions of my site live on the web, and I want to be able to have all non-WWW to point to WWW.http://nile-cruises-4u.co.ukhttp://www.nile-cruises-4u.co.uk
I want just the WWW version of the site live.I'm wondering the best way to resolve this?Is it normally dealt with in the .htaccess file and I think, looks like this but I'm not sure:

<code>RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [http://www.](http://www.)%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]</code> 

Thanks Andy.

Thanks Ian, Irving and Ian,

I take your point about controlling what I can control and your right.

Just frustrating to watch after following Googles recommendations. But, as you say, there might be other factors.

Thanks guys.

Off now to kick the cat!

(Just joking).

<y website="" <a="" href="http://www.nile-cruises-4u.co.uk">www.nile-cruises-4u.co.uk was number 1 in Google.co.uk for several years for our main search term "nile cruise" until about 4 months ago when we fell to our current position of 4 or 5.</y>

I am looking at every aspect of optimising the site and wonder if I am using a good enough title for the home page? At the moment it is titled:

Nile Cruise | Nile Cruises | Nile Cruise Bargains

I wonder if I should just call it "Nile Cruise"?

I alreay have a seperat page entitled "Nile Cruise Bargains" and wonder if having that phrase in the homepage title would have any adverse affects?

Earlier this year our site was hacked and we spent 2 weeks with it being unavailable until we had rebuilt and repaired it. After that our position dipped.

We have a Blog going back to 2007 and when we repaired the site the Blog was affected in that although we managed to re-install the hundreds of posts they were without all of the SEO tags and categories, etc, etc.

I've been slowly adding those but there are still hundreds to do. Could this be affecting our page position?

Thanks,

Colin
