Why do I have few different index URL addresses?

[cssyes]

Yes I know, sorry guys but I also have a problem with duplicate pages. It shows that almost every page of my site has a duplicate content issue and looking at my folders in the server, I don't see all these pages... This is a static Website with no shopping cart or anything fancy. The first on the list is my [index] page and this is giving me a hint about some sort of bad settings on my end with the SEOMOZ crawler???

Please advice and thank you!

Cool Man! Let me work on this and I will keep you update. Don't forget to let me know whenever you're in San Diego, CA... You deserve a cold beer or something

Yes, that is the main URL you should use, based off of standard practice.

Correct, that code should be set up perfect for your situation, and should decrease any other duplicate content errors down by at least 50%

Message me if you have any issues implementing the code

Thanks Casey.

So, to make clear, when I find my website online and copy/paste the URL I get This:

http://www.cssyes.com/

Is this the main address to redirect to? If yes, I don't need to edit any of this code that you did for me right? That was really nice of you not just answering my question but providing the code... Appreciate it.

Do you believe this is the cause of my duplicated pages errors?

First, you will need to redirect non-www URL to the www URL (or vise versa, thats up to you).

Second, you will want to redirect index.htm to the root.

You can fix the problem with a htaccess rewrite. Create a file named ".htaccess" and paste in the following code, then upload it to the root of your website.

Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine on

rewritecond %{http_host} ^cssyes.com [nc]

rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.cssyes.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.htm

RewriteRule ^(.*)index.htm$ http://www.cssyes.com/$1 [R=301,L]
