        Just use http:// at the start of your links!

        If you only use www., then the link will be appended to the end of the current page URI

        Hope this helps

          Yup, what Tom said.  Just wanted to clarify, that I think he's talking about internal links.  So, if you have this code:

          Click here to see this Cool Page on our site!

          change it to,

          Click here to see this [Cool Page](<strong>http://</strong>www.mysite.com/coolpage.php) on our site!

            Hi Tom and Marie,

            We have checked our website completely; we had given http://before all the internal links. For now we have thought of redirecting (301) the double urls to the single url for e.x. if we have http://www.example.com/www.example.com/services/  to http://www.example.com/services.

            Could you please let me know whether we will have any issues if we use a 301 redirection for this issue.

            Note: We have already used many 301 redirections in .htaccess (our website is a rental website with many pages)

            Thanks for your time

              What's your website URL? Could you provide an example?

                Hi Tom,

                As said earlier, we have done a 301 redirection to those urls and we don't find any errors as of now. However, concerned about the long term issues. I have provided our website url below please let us know whether we have to keep a tab of anything to avoid the issues.
