  I recently created a customised Twenty Ten WordPress website mapped to my existing URL http://www.heath-barrowcliff-consulting.co.uk.

  When using a search engine to find the website the first URL displayed is http://heathbarrowcliffconsulting.wordpress.com (even others see this, not just me). My existing URL http://www.heath-barrowcliff-consulting.co.uk is listed second.

  I also note that clicking on individual pages does not display a separate URL but leaves http://www.heath-barrowcliff-consulting.co.uk in the address bar.

  Grateful for any advice on how to resolve this. Thanks in anticipation.

  Here are the instructions for mapping an existing domain. It could be that the current domain is forwarded with masking.

  That is exactly what it is doing (in an iframe no less) and as far as search engines are concerned, that is bad news.

  Buy the upgrade. At US13/year, it’s a good investment for your business.

  Thank you kindly! I now understand that I had incorrectly mapped my domain. Now solved! Russell
