Duplicate page titles reported on same links
-
Moz is reporting duplicate titles on my clients website, citing different versions of the same link, one without dubs as domain.com/link and the other with dubs as www.domain.com/link.
for example ...
duplicate title = Warranty Requests For Custom New Home Construction in Jacksonville
http://myhjhome.com/new-home-construction-warranty-request.html
http://www.myhjhome.com/new-home-construction-warranty-request.htmlthe links are the same, one is just with www and the other is without.in another example ...
Moz reports 5 duplicate titles on the Home page, citing 5 different URLs that all load the same home page ...
duplicate title = Jacksonville Custom Home Builder, Quality Construction On Your Lot
http://myhjhome.com
http://myhjhome.com/
http://myhjhome.com/index.php
http://www.myhjhome.com/
http://www.myhjhome.com/index.phpis this just something that's always going to be reported as a duplicate title or is there a way for me to change the website so Moz doesnt report a duplicate title on the same page (since there really isnt a duplicate title in these examples)?

thanks for the help!
i've figured out how to setup 301 redirects from within the hosting account
and I'm setting the preferred domain in Google Webmaster Tools like ya mentioned
-
Yep... www.example.com, example.com, example.com/index.php, www.example.com/index.php can all be seen as separate pages if not handled correctly. Essentially you need to determine whether the WWW or Non-WWW version of your pages are your preferred and what your preferred version of the homepage is (slash, no slash, /index, etc. etc.). Then go into Webmaster Tools and set either WWW or Non as your preferred and set up 301s on your site to redirect anyone from the non-prefered to the preferred versions.

Homepage duplicated content - 301 redirection - "Rel="canonical" - Headache
Hello Moz community, I already have 301 redirection in my .htaccess , just like this: RewriteEngine On
Getting Started | | mdmoz
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http://www.mysite.com/$1" [R=301,L] Mozpro shows that I have duplicated content for www.mysite.com & www.mysite.com\index.html I am a little lost, there is " 301 Redirect" and "Rel="canonical", moz replied me back that I need to use "Rel="canonical", but can one use both together? i also read on forums, if I 301 redirect index to /, there will be infinite loop and such. Another story, I am also getting IP Canonicalization error when I checked my SEO performance: Your site's IP ...* does not redirect to your site's domain name. This could cause duplicate content problems if a search engine indexes your site under both its IP and domain name.** Which adds to my headache. What is this one all about? There is no single thread or page here, to clear all this confusion and give a straight solution, but rather each page or thread says do a different thing. I am lost, so somebody help!0 -
