Hi,
Regarding Linkedin “my website”, etc., I noticed that some profiles have their “my website” and “my company” shown up with the exact URL as their site names (http://www.sitename.com) instead of the redirect URL from Linkedin. Can you tell me how that can be done?
Thanks.

If I understand your question – edit the link in your LinedIn profile – choose “other” from the drop down box, then type exactly what you want the link to say in the title field. If you want http://yoursitename.com then that is what you type.
