   Our site is http://www.workfromhomewisdom.com and we have a sidebar link to a free download and to "tell a friend". These are accessible if the user navigates to any of the pages or blog posts.

   However, if the visitor navigates via the tag or category links, clicking on the sidebar buttons take them to a 404 page. This is because the link to the category/tag is inserted before the button link!

   I am not a proficient coder so not sure if it is my coding, the theme (Mystique) or the settings for my blog that is causing the problem.

   Some expertise would be greatly appreciated - discovered the problem when I signed up to Google Webmaster Tools - something I would advise everyone to do as it catches those hard to find broken internal links, 404 problems, gives you lots of useful SEO information and Google like you more!

   Many thanks

   Andy

   What markup are you using to create those links? Are you using absolute or relative urls?

   Hi esmi

   This is what I am using

   <img src="http://workfromhomewisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Download_the_6_secrets_of_overcoming_isolation.gif" style="margin-left: 20px; padding: 3px; border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px; -moz-border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid #bbb;" />

   <center><span style= "color: #DF6C1F;">I hate spam as much as you do. Your email is safe with me - I will never pass on your details</span></center>

   So with my understanding it is an absolute URL.

   It was a relative URL which I thought might be the problem so I changed it to absolute - still creates the problem.

   Any ideas?

   Thanks

   Andy

   The link to the relevant page is using an incomplete url:

   <a href="www.workfromhomewisdom.com/free-report/free-download">

   Try adding http://

   Hi esmi - I love you!!! It worked.

   Thank you so much for that. Sometimes you get so close to something you miss the little things that make all the difference.

   Brilliant support

   Best wishes

   Andy
