Link in Footer giving Not Found Error

Hello,

I have some links to facebook, twitter, bbb.org, etc, in the footer of my website. Google webmaster tools is reporting these links as 404 errors like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/www.jdscompliance.com

HTML:

But my code looks ok in the footer:

<a class="certification" href="http://www.jdscompliance.com"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/jds-compliance.jpg" width="145" height="59" alt="Justified Data Security LLC" /></a>

PHP:

Any ideas as to why this may be view by Google bot as incorrect?

Thanks

 

What does your code look like from a browser when you do a VIEW SOURCE on it?

 

It outputs properly. I use Inspect Element in Chrome, the link looks perfect and takes me to the right page when clicked.

Not sure where Google is getting this.

 

Have you run the page through the html validator. It is possible that there is an earlier error that has cascaded downward and GA's parser does not compensate as the browser does. A missing or extra quote can cause this, for example.

cheers,
