Index.php duplicate content
-
Hi, new here.
Im looking for some help with htaccess file.
index.php is showing duplicate content errors with:
ive managed to use the following code to remove the www part of the url:
IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]but how can i redirect the mysite.com/index.php and mysite.com/ to mysite.com.
Please help

Of course! Glad I could help.

Once your trial runs out, you won't be able to respond, but at least you'll still be able to see my answer!
I think you can use the .htaccess file redirect command:
Redirect 301 /location/from/root/file.ext http://www.othersite.com/new/file/location.xyz
So, it should be:
Redirect 301 /index.php http://mysite.com
Redirect 301 / http://mysite.com
If that doesn't work, here's someone with the same problem on StackExchange.
P.S. Glad you like the Distilled course.

Hi Kristina,
No unfortunately my question was misunderstood.
It wasn't the file extension i was looking to hide.
I was looking to redirect mysite.com/index.php to mysite.com/ or mysite.com via an htaccess file.
Im currently working through distilled's online course (nice course btw) , I was hoping to get an answer here :http://www.distilled.net/u/technical/#technical-duplicate-content, (Homepage Canonicalization), but i couldnt find one
This is not a critical question, as im just tinkering around on friends sites, but i would like to learn this.
Unfortunately my free seomoz trial runs out today and im waiting until I have completed distilled's course's before i renew my moz subscription, so i can make better use of moz tools, so i may not be able to see your reply.
Is it cool to tweet @ you?

Hey David,
Just wanted to follow up with you on this - did TextMarketing's method work?

<code>## hide .php extension # To externally redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo RewriteCond%{THE_REQUEST}^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]RewriteRule^%1[R,L,NC]</code>

Pages with Duplicate Content
When I crawl my site through moz, it shows lots of Pages with Duplicate Content. The thing is all that pages are pagination pages. How should I solve this issue?

To what extent is content considered unique or duplicate?
I work primarily on classifieds websites and an issue I consistently come across are two or more URLs which have the exact same ad count, due to site structure and the way everything is categorized. An example of such would be with these two pages: https://www.boatshop24.co.uk/motorboats/princess https://www.boatshop24.co.uk/boats-for-sale/princess/power These two have the exact same number of ads- would search engines mark these as duplicate content? Both have different meta descriptions, title tags etc. but essentially the MC is exactly the same. If they are, what would be the best course to remedy the problem? I'm skeptical about using canonical tags as I generally use them for exact duplicate pages.

Finding a specific link - Duplicating my own content
Hi Mozzers, This may be a bit of a n00b question and i feel i should know the answer but alas, here i am asking. I have a page www.website.co.uk/page/ and im getting a duplicate page report of www.website.co.uk/Page/ i know this is because somewhere on my website a link will exists using the capitalised version. I have tried everything i can think of to find it but with no luck, any little tricks? I could always rewrite the urls to lowercase, but I have downloadable software etc also on the website that i dont want to take the capitals out of. So the best solution seems to be finding the link and remove it. Most link checkers I use treat the capitalised and non capitalised as the same thing so really arent helping lol.

Duplicate Content: Canonicalization vs. Redirects
Hi all, I have a client that I recently started working with whose site was built with the following structure: domain.com
Technical SEO | | marisolmarketing
domain.com/default.asp Essentially, there is a /default.asp version of every single page on the site. That said, I'm trying to figure out the easiest/most efficient way to fix all the /default.asp pages...whether that be 301 redirecting them to the .com version, adding a canonical tag to every .asp page, or simply NOINDEXing the .asp pages. I've seen a few other questions on here that are similar, but none that really say which would be the easiest way to accomplish this without going through every single page... Thanks in advance!0 -

Squarespace Duplicate Content Issues
My site is built through squarespace and when I ran the campaign in SEOmoz...its come up with all these errors saying duplicate content and duplicate page title for my blog portion. I've heard that canonical tags help with this but with squarespace its hard to add code to page level...only site wide is possible. Was curious if there's someone experienced in squarespace and SEO out there that can give some suggestions on how to resolve this problem? thanks

Why are my pages getting duplicate content errors?
Studying the Duplicate Page Content report reveals that all (or many) of my pages are getting flagged as having duplicate content because the crawler thinks there are two versions of the same page: http://www.mapsalive.com/Features/audio.aspx http://www.mapsalive.com/Features/Audio.aspx The only difference is the capitalization. We don't have two versions of the page so I don't understand what I'm missing or how to correct this. Anyone have any thoughts for what to look for?
