How to tell if your webpages are competing against each other?

[Dal123]

I'm about to start designing my .com site, and trying to eradicate an error that professional designers on here have given me a bit of advice- which is;
the webpages on my .co.uk site are competing against each other.
After configuring a ht.access file with this written in it:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.preciseformwork\.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.preciseformwork\.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]

I still can't see much changes and not really sure why the website home page appears with no extention + sign and my services page does? (pictured)

One way to tell is that were only seeing results with www. in them and not mixed results between http://www.preciseformwork.co.uk and http://preciseformwork.co.uk.

If you check your google analytics account you'll see all your traffic is for http://www.preciseformwork.co.uk now. Though this wont necessarily mean more traffic over all if your not advertising the site or doing any other SEO.


Edit: i ment .co.uk

So I have definitely done something wrong as my picture shows .co.uk with homepage just as a single page and my services seems to have a little + sign with more pages.
Why is this happening? I have submitted a sitemap, and there is nothing different with my homepage.
I haven't even started with my .com site yet but I was thinking of having it compete as a seperate site unless it would be a stronger ranking to link the .co.uk and the .com together.
Ideally I'd like to keep them seperate as I'm marketing my .co.uk for staircases and aiming for waterproof structures with our .com site.
Thanks for input Jen .
