always enjoyed page one rankings with this dot com url, i also use
google addwords to achieve a page one ranking also.

Now my question is this.

found my dot co.uk which has a page rank of 3, now far be it for me to
compalin about a page one ranking, howerveer i cannot understand where

Google usually removes duplicate content, which also means duplicate
web sites:

http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html

PageRank is 3/10 http://www.islandentertainmentsonline.com/

URL http://www.islandentertainmentsonline.co.uk/ is using incorrect
redirect. It should use an HTTP 301 permanent redirect, not an HTTP 302
temporary redirect.

More info about HTTP redirects:

ok, my main site is the dot com where my dot co redirects to. I will
have words with my hosting company to see if they can change the
http301 to the 302, thanks.

I think you mean 302 -> 301.
