We have just launched (as of 11.20pm last night!) our new webiste.

I use Google Ad Words alot, and am sat here this morning making the changes so that they go to the right new pages.

However, when I click on my adword, I get the right page, but have some problems with the top half of left hand menu (it should look exactly the same as the bit which has best sellers.

To view what I mean - go to www.google.co.uk & do a search for Dog Doors - our ad is about 5th down the list (after all american companies)

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

I think I may know why it is happening - the actinic.css stylesheet is not in the top level directory.

When you navigate to the dog doors page directly you are in the puddlepetcare.co.uk/acatalog directory, and the actinic.css stylesheet file exists there. When you call the page from google the domain listed is www.puddlepetcare.co.uk and the actinic.css file is not in the top level direcory.

One solution may be to put a copy of actinic.css in the top level directory, although there amy be people around with cleverer solutions than this.

I did wonder if there was a way to force the use of absolute references for stylesheets etc. rather than relative ones, but I am not in front of my Actinic system at the moment. You may also have difficulties if you use other domain names to get to the site.

Also, in the referrer.pl link, try using 'rs000002.pl' rather than 'referrer.pl' and change the BASE URL to be the full URL i.e.

BASEURL=http://www.puddlepetcare.co.uk/acatalog/
