      I am getting duplicate page content and duplicate page title errors for www.mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com/default.aspx. I thought that they were the same page, so I'm not sure how to avoid getting the duplicate content and title errors. Thanks for your help!

        Hi Dan, they are separate pages, so 301 Redirect the default.aspx page to your root domain. That'll do the trick.

        Also, check to see if you have any links (internal and external) pointing to your default.aspx page and get them changed (if you can) to the root domain.

        Regards, Simon
