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.

We switched the domain from www.blog.domain.com to domain.com/blog.
We switched the domain from www.blog.domain.com to domain.com/blog. This was done with the purpose of gaining backlinks to our main website as well along with to our blog. This set us very low in organic traffic and not to mention, lost the backlinks. For anything, they are being redirected to 301 code. Kindly suggest changes to bring back all the traffic.

Domain Forwarding / Multiple Domain Names / or Rebuild Blogs on them
I am considering forwarding 3 very aged and valuable domain names to my main site. There were once over 100 blog posts on each blog and each one has a page authority of 45 and domain authority of 37. My question is should i put up three blogs on the domains and link them to my site or should i just forward the domains to my main site? Which will provide me with more value. I have the capability to have some one blog on them every day. However, i do not have access to any of the old blog posts. I guess i could scrape it of archive.org. Any advice would be appreciated.

Domain Registrar

Block a sub-domain from being indexed
This is a pretty quick and simple (i'm hoping) question. What is the best way to completely block a sub domain from getting indexed from all search engines? One item i cannot use is the meta "no follow" tag. Thanks! - Kyle

Outranking a competitor when their domain name is the keyword
Hi I'd just like to ask the opinion of my fellow members here : We are currently ranking second for a very important keyword and would obviously like the top spot on the SERP - the site that is ranking first has the domain name as the keyword phrase(along with a good amount of quality links from a variety of domains) - now I know it is possible to outrank them since I do remember reading about this in one of Rands posts(I think it was the whole white hat black hat one he posted recently) - bascially we have more domain authority, slightly less links but from double the amount of root domains and a higher page authority too! Does having the keyword as your domain make THAT much of a difference when we are(imo) quite close in terms of great content and link profiles(and all the onpage factors) ? Thanks!
