Home and index.html isted as duplicate page
-
Hello,
www.mountain-solutions.net and www.mountain-solutions.net/index.html are listed under an error for having a duplicate page. They are in fact the same page. I'm wondering how I can remedy this.
Thanks

Hi Ben,
Do you need any more advice on implementing this, or are you good?
-
Tompt has the poit it is recomended to use 301 redirection to avoid problems with canonical tag just make a search in discutions and you'll see some results abbout cannonical tags but if you are carefull it will work fine
-
We are using Canonical URL's to avoid the issue
-
Yes, this is a pretty common problem. You'll want to add a tag just before the area of your index.html file that looks like this:
rel="canonical" href="http://mountain-solutions.net" />
Or, if you want to focus on the www verson and not the non www version:
rel="canonical" href="http://www.mountain-solutions.net" />
-
It's also worth pointing out that www.mountain-solutions.net and mountain-solutions.net also resolve separately so may also be seen as duplicates (this is often referred to as a canonical error).
The process is exactly the same as Cocarcea Ion mentioned, just use a 301 redirection in your .htaccess file if you have access to it.

Getting a URL Unaccessible on the page grader
I'm optimizing a site for a financial advisor, here is the site: http://www.mattkeenancfp.com I am getting the message "that URL is unaccessible" when I try to use the on-page grader. This is an emerald website too, I'm not sure if that has any effect on anything though.

SEOMoz Crawling Only 1 Page
I entered a new site into my dashboard 2 days ago - everything looked kosher, there were a few hundred pages crawled and a whole bunch of errors. I came back this morning to start work on the site and SEOMoz has crawled the site again, this time returning only 1 page and 0 errors. I haven't even logged in to the site since the first crawl, so I couldn't have broken anything. Has anyone seen this before?

Can I do a campaign for just a page?
We've been doing a lot of building and work on just one category page, but when i try to put it in the campaign it won't let me do any url that has a sub folder like www.mainsite.com/keyword-page. I can only do www.mainsite.com, and when i select the other campaign options like root domain or sub folder, roger pops up with an error. Is anyone else having this problem?
