Duplicate content issues caused by our CMS
Hi Nick, Given that you have tried all of the above, I recommend cutting off the search engines at the source, in your Robots.txt. Once you manually exclude the page in your robots.txt doc, the search engines will no longer crawl and index the page. After enough time passes, the page should disappear from the SE's cache. Here is a moz tutorial for how to exclude the page: Robot's Exclusion Protocol Just a heads up..you may want to give it a week or so for the SEs to catch up on all the work you have already done to resolve the issue. Then try the above solution. Good luck!

Link API returns Error 500
Hi Jimbo, A return in an Error 500 could be because the request you placed went over a certain limit in place. Most likely due the amount of links pointing at nz.yahoo.com is the reason you got the error. I would suggest you email out help team if you are experience any further problems, at help@seomoz.org.

New website branding, differences between http://www and http://
Given that we know there isn't any difference from an SEO perspective it comes down to purely external factors. Some questions to think about... Are people going to constantly link to the www version any way? In a competitive space is one more eye-catching than the other? What's more memorable to the visitor?

Redirecting /default to domain ??
Hi Monique, The solution is simple, ask him to put something like that in your default.aspx file, he should understand : If Request.Url.ToString() = "/default.aspx" Then Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently" Response.AddHeader("Location","http://www.quicklearn.com/") End If These 4 lines (not 2 finaly, I forgot how asp was... asp) should do the trick. Best regards, Guillaume Voyer.

Can Search engines crawl this page
Google should not be able to crawl that page as long as it is password protected. However, Google already has it indexed and password protecting it may not induce Google to de-index the page.
