Thanks for that speedy reply.
I guess URL's do change over time, and it's a shame we're not able to edit the older posts so people are aware of this.

I came across the article about redirecting your site:
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...www_and_nonwww

So i amble to write the path of my URLs from:

http://example.com

To

http://www.example.com

As this is supposed to give me more qualified hits on the actual domain.

I followed the below instructions but am not getting the redirection.

# trailing slash
# If URL-path does not contain a period or end with a slash
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.|/$)
# add a trailing slash
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
#
# Redirect non-www domain requests to www domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]


In the line
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.

what should i type where 'example' is written, as i think this may be the cause of my problem.

Many thanks
Andy
