      This is probably SEO 101, but I'm unsure what to do here...

      Last week my weekly crawl diagnostics were off the chart because http:// was not resolving to http://www...fixed that but now it's saying I have duplicate content on:

      http://www.......com

      http://www.......com/index.php

      How do I fix this?

      Thanks in advance!

        Greetings Champion!

        You can provide a Canonical Link or Redirect, that states whichever one of your home pages is the most powerful is the original content.

        For Example, Canonical Linking

        http://www.americanscooterstore.com/Daytona_GT_4_Wheel_by_Drive_Medical.html

        Site that has Duplicate Content

        What the Canonical Link should look like. (should be in one straight line, but the box wasn't big enough.)

        I wish you good luck on your Quest for Page 1 Champion!
